I doubt that he's referring to my typo. I think he doesn't like the content.
The title isn't PC. I do agree about the wet panties though...

And I think it is proper "PC" to simply refer to such person as DK therefore avoiding hurtful description of objectionable behavior.
OR;
Illusory superiority;
Illusory superiority (also known as better-than-average effect) is a cognitive bias in which people overestimate the degree to which they possess desirable qualities, relative to others, or underestimate their negative qualities relative to others. It is one of a class of positive illusions. Whereas in optimism bias people overestimate the likelihood of favorable events happening to them, in illusory superiority people have inflated views of their own characteristics.
The effect has been found when people compare themselves to others on many different abilities and personality traits.[1] Some surveys have found all, or nearly all, the participants rating themselves as above the group average. This has been named the Lake Wobegon effect after Garrison Keillor's fictional town where "all the children are above average".
The strongest effect has been found when people rate themselves on abilities at which they are totally incompetent. These subjects have the greatest disparity between their actual performance (at the low end of the distribution) and their self-rating (placing themselves above average). This DunningKruger effect is interpreted as a lack of metacognitive ability to recognise their own incompetence.
