There's a Ig Nobel prize winning paper with the beautifully worded title "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments". It led to an effect, named after it's authors, called the Dunning Kruger effect. The paper basically shows that incompetent people lack the competence to rate their own skill level. Consequently, they have an inflated view of how good they are. You see it every year on the American Idol auditions. I also see it in global warming debates, where layman skeptics somehow think they more about climate than all the climate scientists who have spent their lifetime studying and publishing research on climate. The winning punchline was submitted by feyanne. There were 21 finalist punchlines chosen for this cartoon. This cartoon was archived on 2009-10-24.
