Consider if every person thought he/she was in the 60%ile for some skill. Then, the best people would underestimate their skill and the worst would overestimate.
This would produce the statistical results of the Dunning Kruger test, but I don't think that's nearly as exciting as what is claimed.

I was thinking this as I read it, and the author seemed to be shocked that both extremes of the bell curve thought of themselves as being more average. That just seems logical, to assume you are average.
