What’s the inverse Dunning-Kruger where you’re asking for help as a novice but someone thinks you’re implying you know more than you do? That shit happened to me once and I’m still salty. I literally said I was a novice looking for help and they had the audacity to imply I was on mount stupid. Like my brother in Christ I would not be saying I am a beginner looking for help if I was over estimating my abilities and thinking I was an expert.
That makes good sense; sometimes you have an unrealistic expectation for the quality of answers, and seeing the mediocre reality grounds you.
That leads into another idea: checking a candidate solution’s correctness is normally much easier than finding the solution. Computational complexity theory shows this rigorously with more formalized problems. So given a wrong answer, you have a much easier gateway from which to fall into the problem. (I’ve had this happen really badly at least once.)
Also a little Dunning-Kruger effect: “I don’t know enough of this topic to answer completely” vs “I know more than the existing answers”
