I knew the Dunning-Kruger effect wasn't valid, but thanks to this post I finally understand why: "The Dunning-Kruger Effect is Autocorrelation"

@joeposaurus count me among the folks who don't get/agree with the argument in this post. I'm not sure it's wrong, but it feels off to me. No opinion on whether the DK effect is real though

This great, but the web address is wrong (its two addresses smushed together).

@jayalane @shauna @joeposaurus Thanks for this. This article did a really good job articulating — and putting into statistical terms — what I was thinking when reading the original: the dependent/independent bit is really *the* key insight.

I also share the author’s irritation with the original (and discussion around it). Part of a bad trend.

Incidentally, that link didn’t work for me but I clicked around and found it… at what claims to be the same URL? Weird.
