Dunning-Kruger effect (2000 Ig Nobel Prize): ignorance more

1) Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own level of
skill.
2) Incompetent individuals fail to recognize genuine skill in
others.
3) Incompetent individuals fail to recognize the extremity of their

No doubt. But I must say (as a pretty uninterested bystander) that
this seems to fulfil George's definition of 'mindless heckling' to a
tee. At all events it doesn't tell me anything useful; only that you
don't like what George has to say.

Surely, if a rational response can be made, why not put one together
on a web page, perhaps as an FAQ, and just link to it each time it
seems necessary.

Not that I care either way; my interest is limited to patristics.

All the best,

George has had his mistakes pointed out for years. He does not
want to learn from them. He wants to have discovered something and,
if he acknowledges his mistakes, he admits he has done nothing.
So he blusters, swears and uses lots of capital letters. His
work is not even close enough to be wrong.
