: On the contrary. People who do things badly, Dr. Dunning has found in studies
: conducted with a graduate student, Justin Kruger, are usually supremely
: confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who
: do things well.
: One reason that the ignorant also tend to be the blissfully self-assured, the
: researchers believe, is that the skills required for competence often are
: the same skills necessary to recognize competence.
