You're misinterpreting the quote. Unskilled people overestimate how skilled they are, but they still understand that they are unskilled. They just don't know quite how unskilled. What Kruger & Dunning actually showed is that people tend to skew their estimates of their skill towards being slightly above average.
- tovej 11mo agoAbove average is not unskilled. That does not compute for me. The point is clearly about how lack of skill/experience in a task make people bad at judging how they do at the task. That is clearly what the article Kruger and Dunning) and the article (OP) are both saying. You could help your argument by explaining how I'm misinterpreting the quote.

This is the only thing Dunning-Kruger found. Actual performance is correlated with perceived performance, mediated by the fact that everyone thinks they are a bit above average.
