[meteorite-list] The Dunning-Kruger effect

[Sterling K. Webb]

List, Paul, 

The opposite of the Dunning-
Kruger Effect is this:

"When the poet Paul Valery 
once asked Albert Einstein if 
he kept a notebook to record 
his ideas, Einstein looked at 
him with mild but genuine 
surprise. "Oh, that's not 
necessary," he replied . "It's 
so seldom I have one."
                                 ― Bill Bryson, 
A Short History of Nearly Everything
