    I am sure many have had "one of those days" where it just makes you want to
    go hummmmm......

    so riddle me this, is there different levels of just plain stupid? I know
    many of use are some serious geeks ... i like the I.D. 10. T error ...
    After today, I think really there are degree's of stupid. Just WOW !

    I used to ask people what the difference between half-wit, dim-wit, and
    nit-wit were... I think there is a level to those variations of wit... so I
    am sure there are degrees of stupid, too. :D

    What I like about the Dunning-Krueger effect, is that if you think it doesn't apply to you on something, your knowledge of the Dunning-Krueger is an example of the Dunning-Krueger effect.

    (It probably still isn't, but I tend to like the idea that everyone is
    stupid; it's just a matter of figuring out the topic. And the relative
    quantity of topics.)

    See that proves my point .... If a person is an idiot and they know their an idiot. smh!

    Having a lack of knowledge on a topic is no where near that ... Unless an argument is made "crazy like a fox"
