That belief is called "Dunning Kruger Syndrome" and is a common belief among the "faithful" and other stupids.

Primary symptoms include denying peer review.

We need a directorate of science, and we need it to be voted on only by scientists. You don't get to vote on reality. Get over it. Elected officials that deny the findings of the Science Directorate are subject to immediate impeachment for incompetence.

Jumping to assumptions is a problem with smart people. One problem is that once they have those assumptions they hold on to them for dear life. I'm dealing with that right now on facebook.

Spammers are stupid enough to talk to 'bots and believe they are being listened to.

That the next ploy the PLAI major told you to try?

"I'm a robot, you can't outlast me?"

Very creative Unit 61398. Not good enough though. You're not bright enough to emulate a computer.
