    Came here to say this.

    It is psychologically satisfying to believe DK, but ultimately just because you like the sound of it, doesn’t make it true.

      Ive always joked that the biggest case of DK is people believing they understand and can identify cases of DK despite having no psychology education. This makes for a fun paradox.

        This is about as stupid as claiming you’d need to be educated in psychology to identify a Freudian slip

          Identifying a psychological issue involving a disconnect between education and confidence is hardly on the same level as a freudian slip.

            Identifying a psychological issue involving a person’s philosophical intention and the context of linguistical expression is hardly on the same level as the DK effect.
