RationalWiki calls the third one 'Ultracrepidarianism', and says it's rather common with engineers in general: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ultracrepidarianism (the Wikipedia article has that as a subheading on the Ne supra crepidam page instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne_supra_crepidam#Ultracrepida...) But I'd say it's a subtype of the Dunning-Krueger effect rather than part of the general definition. Personally I've always thought of Dunning-Krueger as an extension of the first definition here. Newbies/amateurs overestimating their skills and experts underestimating them, though I feel like the second definition is probably more true of human behaviour. | ||

>RationalWiki calls the third one 'Ultracrepidarianism' LOL because RationalWiki was written by engineers. I've often seen it referred to as "Engineer's Disease" for how it's commonly encountered. | ||
