All I can say is I’ve heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect, but I’m not actually smart enough to understand what it’s about.

My old boss was nicknamed “Walking talking Dunning-Kruger” for how often he’d jump into topics and then sound like a dumbass, piss everyone off, but then demand it be done his way, and we’d all know it would fail.....but do it anyways -_-

I hated that job.

It also works the other way where someone competent thinks everyone else is competent, too

Weird right? It’s why everyone thinks they are going to get a B/B+ on every exam. Even people getting a D/F or A+.
