:Not a full answer (You'll need to look at [[User:Dagelf|Dagelf]] for details on why they picked *those* sources in particular), but meanwhile see also: [[#DK_Effect_is_Simply_Autocorrelation]]. --[[User:Kim Bruning|Kim Bruning]] ([[User talk:Kim Bruning|talk]]) 15:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

::Thanks for the efforts to improve the article. One difficulty with this topic is that there is a lot of misleading information about it on the internet. This is why it's dangerous to rely on low-quality sources like blogs. For example, from the high-quality source Mazor & Fleming 2021 (Nature Human Behaviour): {{tq|In one of the most highly replicable findings in social psychology, Kruger and Dunning showed that participants who performed worse in tests of humour, reasoning, and grammar were also more likely to overestimate their performance.}} There are different ways to explain this but there are very few reliable sources that claim that there is nothing there. Even statistical explanations usually acknowledge this. For example, Gignac & Zajenkowski 2020 hold that statistics only explain some part of the effect and Nuhfer et al. 2017 only deny that the effect is "pronounced".
