This is the weirdest cope for dudes who don’t like being called out for Dunning-Kruger. It *still* shows that the least capable people overestimate their knowledge by more even if they’re just saying they’re better than average because they’re further below average.https://twitter.com/wwwojtekk/status/1487975219251793935 …

The bias ensures that the intercept is greater than 0 and the random error ensures the slope is less than 1, and that’s all you need to reproduce the chart. You don’t need uniform belief in being better than average, you just need everyone to be the same amount of overconfident.

Notably you get a very similar chart if no one has any bias (everyone is correctly calibrated except for random error) or even if everyone has perfect belief about their own abilities but the test is noisy.
