The Dunning-Kruger effect is autocorrelation
Summary: The Dunning-Kruger effect, a psychological phenomenon where unskilled individuals overestimate their competence, has been debunked as a statistical artifact. Researchers found that the effect emerges from data even when it shouldn't, revealing that it's a result of autocorrelation rather than human psychology. The effect gained popularity after its discovery in 1999, but recent critiques have exposed the flaw in the original analysis.
