I think the effect can help you come to the conclusion many experts in fields come to after a while: The larger your knowledge, the more you are aware of your ignorance. I am sure there is an English idiom that describes it more gracefully. Maybe that is the intersection to the 20%.
Enthusiastically pointing out the discrepancy on the other end of the curve is most probably an indicator that you might have fallen "victim" to the effect itself.
