The level of confidence a person has in their statements has little correlation with how correct those statements are (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconfidence_effect).
And after typing that sentence, I decided to make a quick trip over to Google to pull up some actual proof. Because my simply saying it does not make it so - I may have remembered incorrectly, I might have been making an ass of myself.

[sandor051.livejournal.com]

Well it'd be more fair to say the confidence a person has in their statements is correlated with how correct they are.

Just in the reverse way to what would be expected.

Dunning–Kruger effect 4 lyfe

Damn, I didn't put enough vague qualifiers to be technically right! My internet reputation is ruined! OP do you see what you have wrought?!

But in all seriousness yes you are correct, and the Dunning-Kruger effect is an even better (and specific) example of the possibly harmful cognitive biases behind confidence.

You win something. I don't have much to give you, but the Dunning-Kruger comment wins my whatever you want.

I agree with this secret so hard on every point, even being rather vocal about my dislike of poetry until the last couple of years when I was introduced to the likes of Langston Hughes and incredible slam poets like Taylor Mali, who is now one of my greatest inspirational heroes.

I overuse question marks because that's what I sound like in real life. Then again my speech is consistently different from my typing, so I'm not sure why I bother. I've always thought that roughly half the fandom/Tumblr-style tyPING LIKE THIS????? is because they're worried they'll sound detached/insincere, the other roughly-half being the Internet definition of ironic. But maybe I'm projecting on the former.

[noapologiesx.livejournal.com]

omg I LOVE Taylor Mali. He was the first poet I really found myself actually liking as well (I have since discovered others, but he remains my favorite modern poet). He did a reading at my university last year and he was absolutely wonderful. <3

[pimpmytardis.livejournal.com]

Actually. I discovered Taylor Mali from a fandom secret. Anyone remember what it was? It had to do with "What Teachers Make" which is still my favorite.

Humility is important.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, but what part of "But, but but" "I I I" ""wh-wh-what?" and "declarative sentence?" is humility?

I like how you make fun of people for using PA question marks then use PA question marks.
