Psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive incapacity, on the part of those with low ability, to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their competence accurately. <br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-22551266879597278282017-04-30T16:40:42.987-04:002017-04-30T16:40:42.987-04:001) If you can, provide a well reasoned rebuttal.

Y'know, so we get context and not their version of isolated quotes. <br /><br />B https://www.blogger.com/profile/10586046436233366155noreply@blogger.com
