Primes¶
- Dunning-Kruger Effect
- … popular in public discourse, where it is often invoked loosely; the original empirical claim has been substantially refined and in places contested by subsequent statistical analysis, which has identified regression-to-the-mean and floor/ceiling effects as alternative explanations for much of the original pattern.
This sourceShows the iconic scissors chart can emerge from random noise plus regression to the mean; supports D16-101 (regression-to-the-mean and floor/ceiling effects as alternative explanations). CITATION-FIX: the prime cited a non-existent title/venue ('Assessing Ignorance...', Journal of Geoscience Education 65(4):445–467); replaced with the actual Nuhfer et al. 2017 paper that makes the regression argument.
