- spacemanmatt 4y agoI think that the article you pasted supports my perspective, here. My reference to D&K here is specifically for this conclusion, from your article: "One relevant point, I guess, is that even if the observed effect is entirely a product of regression to the mean, it’s still a meaningful thing to know that people with low abilities in these settings are overestimating their <overstrike>true abilities</overstrike> how well they’ll do." I also think that you have inaccurately characterized the article, which author specifically divorces their self from judgement of "real" and "not real" in the introduction.
