I think a better conclusion to draw from Dunning-Kruger is that self assessment can be problematic.



I would agree with this. It's broader and still applicable.


Dunning-Kruger actually said everyone is bad at self evaluation, not just the low skilled.


And that neatly applies to his law of argumentative comprehension, which should really read "The more people _think they_ understand something, the more willing they are to argue about it, and the more vigorously they will do so."
