True.

Fair point, but if they can't understand their own unexcellent performance, how can they understand excellence? They never did.
They thought they were expert enough, which was simply not true.
And they had ZERO understanding of what it takes to be an excellent performer, which was precisely why they thought they were excellent.
I read the study itself. It shows "the overconfidence of fools".
Does DJT think he's a dipshit? Of course not. He believes the exact opposite, because he's a lying fool, just like the underperformers of DK. Whether a person knows they're lying or is just mistaken is not as important as the fact that they're just not capable nor do they even know what it takes to be capable. They are trapped in the fiction of their own capability.
The key takeaway is that honest, humble hard work is the way to achieve expertise, and that many people have chosen to lie to themself and the world instead.
I do concede that they didn't believe they were better than the true experts. Thanks for the correction, but the overconfident fools of the world still think they're smart, and often they think they ARE smarter than intelligent people, even though that's not in DK.
Honestly you could well qualify yourself as one of these overconfident fools you speak of. You seem awfully judgemental of people you know very little about.
