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 The top of this absurdity is the fact, that Nuhfer et al use a invalid measure of "skill". Education level is not a valid measure of skill. This is not proving the invalidity of an effect – it's proving the invalidity of the writer and the authors of this study. The invalidity of the paper by Dunning & Kruger does not prove the absence of the effect.
