Where was Johnny magic today? I guess it only pops up when they win. How convenient.
Pay attention, kids. This is the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
Invoking Dunning-Kruger in an online message board in order to discredit another persons idea is so cliche. Leave it to you to mention it.
The only problem is that the D-K effect itself is wrong.
Everyone actually thinks they’re better than average. Even Dr. David Dunning admits it is a misunderstood effect. You want it to be about dumb people, but Dr. Dunning has stated it’s mostly about all of us when it comes to things we are not very competent at. So if you still want to use D-K in your lame argument, be my guest. It’s more a self-explanation about your own incompetence than anything else … that according to David Dunning himself. I tend to agree w/ him.
