The math behind the Dunning-Kruger Effect is very suspect.
The effect says that ignorant people don't understand their own ignorance.
A mathematical reanalysis of the original study of 45 undergraduates, random number simulations and replication with clearer methods show that the least skilled people DO know how much they don't know, and that just about everyone overestimates their own knowledge.
