There Are No Stupid People

  1. Everybody is an expert .... that's how it appears anyway
    How often do you hear anyone describe themselves as a crap driver ,
    or an idiot ?

    In a survey ( might have been the AA actually ) over 80% of drivers rated themselves as " above average "
    So that is completely meaningless as a statistical measure of driver ability .

    It's the Dunning-Kruger Effect .... and yes , somebody did start me off on this rant .
    Nobody on here , I hasten to add .... someone in "real" life .... :)

    Thick people agency
    " Rowena is particularly thick .... she's one of our top earners "

  6. From my experience, when you make something idiot proof, God invents a better idiot.

  12. Yep. I’ve referenced that syndrome on this forum a few times and as recently as a few days ago :D

    The first rule of Dunning-Kruger club is you don’t know you’re a member of Dunning-Kruger club....

  13. "Arguments. Thick people are very good at winning arguments, because they are too thick to realise that they have lost". :bucktooth:

    Never a truer word has been spoken. :upyeah:

  14. Hence the stratospheric growth of the HSE culture in its first few years, before realising that there would never be a substitute for actually training people correctly.
