49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

13. aka the Dunning-Kruger effect
Fri Sep 18, 2015, 10:57 PM
Sep 2015
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate. The bias was first experimentally observed by David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University in 1999. Dunning and Kruger attributed the bias to the metacognitive inability of the unskilled to evaluate their own ability level accurately. Their research also suggests that conversely, highly skilled individuals may underestimate their relative competence, erroneously assuming that tasks that are easy for them also are easy for others.[1]

Dunning and Kruger have postulated that the effect is the result of internal illusion in the unskilled, and external misperception in the skilled: "The miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others."[1]

When you are young and full of piss and vinegar, you might think you are faster and better than the old guy. I worked for this guy who cautioned me about this. His dad built houses and put him working with a seasoned man. He thought he knew everything and put himself in competition with the older guy. He ran around from here to there, back and forth, fast. The older guy was methodical and steady. At the end of the day the older guy got much more done. The father of my former boss asked him, "You learn anything?"

Now I am the boss and I find myself getting angry because of simple things I'd figure anyone should know are not known. Mess ups cost money.

The Dunning-Kruger effect happens all the time in the construction industry.

So, how did it acquire the name? Or was it two distinct concepts with similar names?
