By describing this state of absolute blissfull happiness, this NIRVANA of incompetence so acutely, you have robbed me of it!

Now I'll never again know that lovely feeling again >:( --- well, anyway, until I've forgotten all about this rotten posting of yours! :D

: On the contrary. People who do things badly, Dr. Dunning has found in studies
: conducted with a graduate student, Justin Kruger, are usually supremely
: confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who
: do things well.

: One reason that the ignorant also tend to be the blissfully self-assured, the
: researchers believe, is that the skills required for competence often are
: the same skills necessary to recognize competence.
: "Not only do they reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate
: choices, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize
: it."
