He seriously believed that lemon juice made his face invisible.

The 1st rule of the Dunning-Kruger club is that those in it don't know it.

That would include you...

...right?

Time for you to add the first entry to your insult log.

I'll be nice to you Chris by kindly reminding you to read the opening
post in the thread that you "think" it fits, and then I ask you politely to >> come back here and agree with me and with everyone who read that OP, that
it simply doesn't fit the bare minimum requirements to be in that thread.

Of course it does. Openly calling anyone stupid is an insult. You made no caveat for additions to your "insult log".

Face it, your attempt at playing the victim has backfired. Any attempt to deny your insulting behaviour simply shows you up as a hypocrite.

Your choice; are you insulting, or a hypocrite?

Both is definitely an option.

Chris,

Give me credit for being intelligent.

Don't you think there's a reason both those threads were entered consecutively? C'mon. Think about it. Do you think it's by accident?

Not a single person who replied has understood something as simple as the
two conditions in the original post of the thread that they claim this belongs in, which is my entire point about the D-K effect.

You all proved it for me.
Thanks!

Thank you for demonstrating the "no true Scotsman" fallacy!
