Are the Unskilled Really that Unaware? An Alternative Explanation

In a series of articles and manuscripts (e.g., Kruger & Dunning, 1999, Dunning et al., 2003, Ehrlinger et al., 2005), Dunning, Kruger and their collaborators argued that the unskilled lack the metacognitive ability to realize their incompetence. We propose that the unskilled-and-unaware problem - rather than being one of biased judgements - is one of unbiased judgements based on biased information
