Kruger and Dunning argue that for a given skill, incompetent people will:
1. tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
2. fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
3. fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
4. recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, only if
they can be trained to substantially improve.

Thanks R. Kym. K&D is certainly relevant to your and Wormley's posts.

Note.

1. Wormley is an Astronomy technician who thinks he's a climate science
physicist. (overestimation)

2. Whenever competent analysis is presented by knowledgeable persons
such as Marvin, Wormley says Marvin or they are ignorant of "climate
science".

3. Wormley thinks that giving "free university" classes to geezers and
dumb-ass teens makes him on the same level as a widely published tenured
full professor. (Failure to recognize inadequacy)

4. Since Wormley cannot be trained to acquire scientific skill due to
his obstinate politics, he will NEVER acknowledge his own lack of skill.

5. Note that all of AGW "arguments" are mostly logical fallacies usually
based on personal attacks of critics. The use of politically loaded
words such as "deniers" PROVES this is not a discussion about science.
It is obviously merely a propaganda war. The constant posts by R. Kym.
suggesting that all critics are "insane" without any medical
justification certainly adumbrates political denigration.

And as for you Kym, we will get around giving you the K&D analysis later.
