David Dunning on the Dunning-Kruger Effect
This month Scientific American published an interview with one of the researchers that "invented" the popular Dunning-Kruger Effect in 1999. About the "effect', he says:
The Dunning-Kruger effect visits all of us sooner or later in our pockets of incompetence. They’re invisible to us because to know that you don't know something, you need to know something. It’s not about general stupidity. It’s about each and every one of us, sooner or later.You can be incredibly intelligent in one area and completely not have expertise in another area.
