| The Dunning-Kruger effect can be summed up in one sentence: the less we know, the more we think we know. It is a cognitive bias with what people with fewer skills, abilities and knowledge tend to overstate those same abilities and knowledge. We can apply this theory to Nigel and Simon. As a result, the pair of them tend to become ultracrepidarian; people who express opinions about everything they hear without knowing anything, but they think they know a lot more than the others. |
