There really ought to be a "meta Dunning-Kruger effect" that states something like "everyone overconfidently thinks that everyone else is overconfident, so of course you're correct, smart, and good looking."

Somone who has read the paper: Hmm, this could be the Dunning-Kruger effect in action but I’m not sure. Someone who has read the intro: Aww shucks, I’m surrounded by fools again… Someone whose knowledge of it is limited to watching other people talk about it: Aah, the Dunning-Kruger Effect strikes yet again! Oh, how predictable these overconfident hobgoblins are! But I see right through them!!
