That's _not_ Dunning-Kruger
- garbagecoder 3y agoAgain, I'm not saying that's what it SHOULD be called, I'm saying it's a useful term for something we experience. At some point the wrong definition becomes the correct one, that's most etymologies. It's why people say "and I" as an object and don't know what question begging is or whatever. It just doesn't matter in the long run.
- uoaei 3y agoNo, but the behavior expressed by adopting such an attitude is. Yours is a nitpick that is probably worth mentioning but doesn't really change the analysis.
- garbagecoder 3y agoWe just need a name for that now. Replyguy? Ackshually guy? Sounds too memey. The Nelson-Poindexter Effect?
