Here's another quote from the same article:

"In some cases, Dr. Dunning pointed out, an awareness of one's own inability is inevitable: "In a golf game, when your ball is heading into the woods, you know you're incompetent," he said.

"But in other situations, feedback is absent, or at least more ambiguous; even a humorless joke, for example, is likely to be met with polite laughter. And faced with incompetence, social norms prevent most people from blurting out "You stink!" -- truthful though this assessment may be."

The more public spirited members of this board may take this as a call to arms to provide us with the needed negative feedback. Could this post be a sly recruitment tool from our resident emperor-has-no-clothes guy?
