"The Dunning-Kruger effect (also known as Mount Stupid[1] or Smug Snake[2]), named after David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University, occurs where people fail to adequately assess their level of competence — or specifically, their incompetence — at a task and thus consider themselves much more competent than everyone else. This lack of awareness is attributed to their lower level of competence robbing them of the ability to critically analyse their performance, leading to a significant overestimation of themselves. In simple words it's 'people who are too ignorant to know how ignorant they are'."

"Liars cover up lies with more lies and then more after that. If someone lies about one thing the law says you throw out their entire testimony. That sounds right."
