D-K can be summarized roughly as “self-perceived relative skill is directly correlated with actual relative skill, but systematically compressed toward about the 70th percentile”. (For some reason people mistake the finding that those at the bottom of relative skill perceive their relative skill higher than it is, and those at the top perceive theirs lower than it actually is for an inverse relationship, when it involves nothing of the sort.) So, it is not at all an illustration of non-correlation between confidence and skill.
