Vanishingly uncommon to actually hear "I don't know" as the answer to a casual inquiry, unless it's on an obviously specialist topic. The Dunning-Kruger effect happens with a lot of things that are day-to-day.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> The Dunning-Kruger effect happens with a lot of things that are day-to-day. Ironically, the Dunning-Kruger effect (in which perceived relative skills tends to track with actual relative skill but is, on average, shifted somewhat towards about the 70th percentile from its actual value, for people on either side of that) is a frequent subject of what people misdescribe as the “Dunning-Kruger effect”, where people act extremely knowledgeable about a subject with very little knowledge of it.
