Do you the Dunning-Kroger Effect - which suggests that a person without real expertise tends to over-estimate their abilities whilst a person with a great deal of expertise or knowledge tends towards more intellectual humility?
 
No, but I googled.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their skills

Wow Dave, that's quite personal.
I've never claimed to be an expert in poetry, I definitely do not over-estimate my abilities, and am very aware of my many deficiencies. Assuming you are suggesting this effect applies to me, all I can say is I'm very saddened and surprised. And please refrain from posting any further comments on anything I write in the future.

Colm, I have sent a private response to this. You assume wrongly is all I can say here.

A Zimbabwean painter once said to me: " All music is one voice." Which I'm still thinking about.

I liked the poem and I think Dave did as well. The task set was a worthy one. Imagine using music to describe poetry and you see what I mean.

I don't understand your tiff but the Dunning-Kruger effect is sadly very well-represented by our government here, the African National Congress.  

Intellectual people are generally more humble because the more they find out, the less they know they know.
