There may be a great many things that I'm totally incompetent at and I just have no clue how bad I am.
The worst part about this one is once you start to realize that you don't know as much as you think, you gain confidence in your ability to not think you know very much, and overestimate how much you think you don't really know. You know?
Oh, I know!
I might have good news for you, there are people who claim that the effect is not because stupid people overestimate their abilities (and vice versa) but that it is just a statistical artefact. I'm not competent enough to tell if that's correct, since I didn't understand the argument completely, but if you want to build your own opinion, you can find many articles about it.
