Hell, even the "Dunning Kruger effect" is a misapplication of statistics.
The effect shows up even with randomly generated samples. Because there are floors and ceilings to the data. If you're low, you can only guess so much further down, so you're likely to overestimate your ability. If you're high, you can only guess so much further up, so you're likely to underestimate your ability.
