To be fair, the paper itself uses hyperbolic language that completely distorts it’s own data. It heavily pushes and leads the reader into one possible dramatic explanation for their results, while downplaying and ignoring a bunch of other less dramatic explanations. Using words like “incompetent” are almost completely unfounded based on what they actually did. Section headings like “competence begets calibration”, “it takes one to know one”, and “the burden of expertise” are uncurious platitudes and jumping to conclusions. I’m kind-of stunned at the popular longevity of this paper given how unscientific is it and how often replication results with better methodology have shown conflicting results.
