The Dunning-Kruger effect.

Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:


1.tend to overestimate their own level of skill;


2.fail to recognize genuine skill in others;


3.fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;


4.recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they can be trained to substantially improve.

They won a Nobel prize in psychology for their research. Right-O.
 
I know a place where this exists. I go there often.
