"People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many 
social and intellectual domains. Why people tend to hold overly 
optimistic and miscalibrated views about themselves ? Not only do they 
reach mistaken conclusions and make regrettable errors, but their 
incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it.

Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive 
skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error.

Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing 
their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of 
their abilities."

It is one of the essential features of such incompetence that the person
so afflicted, James McGinn is incapable of knowing that he, Cladious 
Denk is incompetent.

from the paper;
"Predictions
These shards of empirical evidence suggest that incompetent
individuals have more difficulty recognizing their true level of
ability than do more competent individuals and that a lack of
metacognitive skills may underlie this deficiency. Thus, we made
four specific predictions about the links between competence,
metacognitive ability, and inflated self-assessment.

Prediction 1. Incompetent individuals, compared with their
more competent peers, will dramatically overestimate their ability
and performance relative to objective criteria.

Prediction 2. Incompetent individuals will suffer from deficient
metacognitive skills, in that they will be less able than their more
competent peers to recognize competence when they see it—be it
their own or anyone else's.

Prediction 3. Incompetent individuals will be less able than their
more competent peers to gain insight into their true level of
performance by means of social comparison information. In particular,
because of their difficulty recognizing competence in others,
incompetent individuals will be unable to use information
about the choices and performances of others to form more accurate
impressions of their own ability.

Prediction 4. The incompetent can gain insight about their
shortcomings, but this comes (paradoxically) by making them
more competent, thus providing them the metacognitive skills
necessary to be able to realize that they have performed poorly."
