The phenomenon you're describing is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. This effect refers to the tendency of people who are less skilled or knowledgeable in a particular area to overestimate their abilities or understanding, while those who are more skilled or knowledgeable tend to underestimate their abilities or understanding.
The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs because people who are less skilled or knowledgeable in a particular area often lack the ability to recognize their own limitations. They may have a limited understanding of the subject, which leads them to believe that they know more than they actually do. In contrast, people who are more skilled or knowledgeable are more likely to recognize the complexity of the subject and the gaps in their own understanding.
Additionally, people who are less skilled or knowledgeable may be overconfident because they are not aware of the vast amount of information and expertise that is required to truly understand a subject. They may believe that their limited understanding is sufficient to make accurate judgments, when in fact they are missing important information that could change their perspective.
It's worth noting that the Dunning-Kruger effect is not always present, and that some people may be aware of their limitations and lack of expertise in a particular area. However, the effect can be particularly pronounced in situations where people are asked to make judgments or decisions outside of their area of expertise. -
