Interesting reading, but take with a grain of salt. I like to think that most people do some analysis before they accept or reject something new.

Enjoyed the article, thanks for posting. It seems no matter what, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
Haven't tried "GO" yet, still trying to get past level 3 in "Space Invaders".
There is one huge error in the following excerpt from the link provided:
"In general, we believe we are more skilled and competent than whatÛªs reflected in reality; itÛªs called the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Studies have affirmed that this cognitive bias extends to logical reasoning, grammar, debate skills, driving, emotional intelligence and more. The same holds true for our belief systems and morals ÛÓ we tend to think weÛªre the ones who have it all figured out."
The authors erred in assigning this wisdom to a couple of guys named Dunning and Kruger. They may be smart people but they cannot compare to the original definers of the effect cited. In fact, it was first announced as being the Cow-McMillan Effect.
RJ, that's only a 3 month graph. Investors in the long haul have been disappointed. 🙁

You're right, I'm sure i'd seen that explained somewhere in the news. They were trying to explain this trend in the vein of psychology, and I'm trying to understand it simply without the benfit of a college degree.
