The Dunning-Kruger effect has been refuted by further research: [D-K] describes everyone’s favorite theory of those they disagree with, that they are hopelessly confused idiots unable to see they are idiots... However, many psychologists have noted Kruger and Dunning’s main data is better explained by positing simply that we all have noisy estimates of our ability and of task difficulty. For example... So why does Google blog search finds zero mentions of this refutation? My guess: because under [the new] theory you should listen to those you disagree with instead of writing them off as idiots. citations here: http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/11/all-are-unaware.html http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/11/all-are-unaware.html
