> wrong the DK studies are

The DK studies are not wrong, they are misinterpreted by people who don't know what they're talking about (e.g. what tge DK effect actually is), like this blogger.

"People have worse self assessment ability as their real ability declines" would be a valid interpretation of the DK data and notably would NOT be a valid conclusion from the random data in the blog post.



You should read the reference we are discussing which makes no such mistakes.
