Re strawman: I saw someone making a very similar point to the one this post critiques, which reminded me of this post and prompted me to post it. It's definitely out there as something people believe. See e.g. this comic http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2475 http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2475 Edit: or this one http://orig04.deviantart.net/6527/f/2012/283/9/7/dunning_kruger_effect_by_addattack-d5hg2e4.png http://orig04.deviantart.net/6527/f/2012/283/9/7/dunning_kru...

The SMBC comic does not actually claim to illustrate the Dunning-Kruger effect.

  No, but it makes the same claim that the post here says is popular and wrong.

    "Willingness to opine" is not identical to "self assessment of capability". I am also not sure any SMBC comic can be reasonably considered to be making a claim of anything...
