But I have come to realize than when someone trundles out Dunning-Krueger, they're running on empty.
Not to brag (well, not much), but I've designed international Virtual Private Networks, Enterprise class Voice Over IP platforms, deployed nationwide data networks, done cost accounting for service industries attached to oil and gas, worked on international taxation issues, while writing programs and middleware shims in ten different computer programming languages.
Oh, and I've developed Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plans for Fortune-1000 companies (which is how I just happen to know a wee bit about risk assessments!).
When someone leads by insulting my intelligence...frankly it's rather comical. I don't pretend to know everything, but I'm far from the dullest knife in the drawer.
Why do these ephithet-lobbing goofballs not realize that Dunning-Krueger can work both ways?
The child in me wants to say "Oooh! Somebody learned a BIG WORD today!"
Believe me, THAT temptation was quite strong!
