What a great example of Dunning-Kruger as applied to elites. I remember the spike of interest in DK bias during the pandemic [1], largely as a way of explaining how uneducated folks could be so confidently incorrect about vaccination strategies. In reality it can strike in any social strata -- like a bunch of professional traders wielding billions of dollars, smugly misunderstanding Kelly.
