IIRC it was named (by Dunning and Kruger) in 1999. But the concept has been around forever by other names and phrases.

A similar effect is the old adage, "The biggest mouths are attached to the smallest brains."

The Dunning-Kruger effect is on display almost every day...100% of congrseeional democRATs and 75% of congressional Republicans (RINOs).

“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:18

Once again, the Bible proves to be a “how to” manual for living as a human being on earth.

I so often say (from experience) - the person who worried me the most in business was the one who had insufficient experience to be in the leadership role they filled. They had balls. But not the experience. I always found that combination reckless and therefore “dangerous”.

Thomas Edison would be proof. And that would be wrong.
