David Dunning

Social psychologist, co-author of kruger-dunning-1999 and the senior of the two names on the best-known finding in popular psychology. At cornell-university when the paper was written, and the correspondence address on it.

Paged on this ingest and not on the previous one, which is the rule working rather than a change of mind. When dunning-kruger-misread arrived he was the subject of a source, and ../ENTITIES.md discovers the agents around a source rather than its topic. Holding the paper makes him an author, and the evidence to page him came with it.

His own position in the 1999 paper is the metacognitive one: incompetence removes the means of recognizing incompetence. The paper’s supporting literature leans on his earlier work with Griffin, Milojkovic and Ross on overconfident prediction.
