Eh its a meme at this point. Everyone knows to what you’re referring and recognises the shared experience of overconfident stupid people. Everyone educated on the topic understands that it’s a pop psychological misrepresentation of some very interesting work.
I notice it’s prevalent in populations that have had an excess of a certain type of “executive” education. Whether they are poorly educated or not… I leave to the reader.

The irony of this is that those who aren’t “educated on the topic” do not realize that by describing the Dunning-Kruger effect as the law of “overconfident stupid people”, they themselves have become subjects of the effect.
What I was trying to say is that the Dunning-Kruger effect being misrepresented as something that only applies to “stupid people” is often done by people who are themselves undereducated on its topic. The DK effect applies to everybody.
