>If the research can't demonstrate the DK effect, then the research is bad, like poorly designed. I don't have an opinion about Dunning-Kruger either way, but I wanted to point out that this is a pre-replication crisis mindset. Social psychology spent decades producing catchy, intuitive results that turned out not to replicate. We've learned over and over that we can't trust it when a result feels right, we need to rely on proven statistical methods.
