Dunning-Kruger effect

From wiki:
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it."

i am no psychologist, but if i understand correctly, it basically means that stupid people tend to overestimate their prowess while smart ppl end up underestimating their ability.

hahahahahha
the subtlety kills me
