"the Dunning–Kruger effect is the thesis that those who are incompetent in a given area tend to be ignorant of their incompetence, i.e., they lack the metacognitive ability to become aware of their incompetence. This definition lends itself to a simple explanation of the effect: incompetence often includes being unable to tell the difference between competence and incompetence."

I think this very accurately sums up your comments.

Well jeez, that sounds awful. Thank goodness I've always been great at everything I've done so I never gave to face this.

Well, at least you stopped arguing about how easy term life insurance is.

Funny enough, Dunning-Kruger's study never showed anything remotely as what's nowadays called the Dunning-Kruger effect on the Internet.

Their study was mostly just a statistical artifact.
