Hi All
Please read this link first so you have a basic idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
The reason why I think that this should be published on ALL forums never mind ETO is because it explains many things that cause a lot of experienced people wanting to help to eventually loose it and turn away.
I speak from first hand experience. Not the Internet. I sit next to this person everyday of my working life....
Incorrectly trained or possibly no training from the start. So, I try and help this person and share every little bit of knowledge gained to help him learn....
No. Wont listen. For him things have worked fine so far. He regards himself highly as a TV Tech...even though he cannot explain how a TV works. Strictly trial and error or monkey see monkey do excellence. He will take a TV PCB and start changing things over and over again...until it works. Eventually.
Remember, someone is paying for his "hard work" and spares wastage in the extreme.
So, knowing all this (been here 6 years now)....remember this is serious Dunning Kruger country here....I give this guy a set I cannot fix and ask him to spend maybe 20 Mins on it and see if I have not overlooked something simple....
I explain exactly what I have done to the set so far. I tell him don't bother changing those spares again because IT WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
Three days later on that same set....and what is the result? Everything I told him not to bother changing he changed over and over. Hoping for a new result after being told it will not solve the problem. Wont listen. As per Dunning Kruger he has the following issues:
Dunning and Kruger proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:
tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy
I will make it my mission to make the Dunning Kruger effect known Worldwide.
That will let a lot of experienced good people around the Globe who try and help sleep better at night knowing that there is NO cure for stupidity.
Best regards,
tvtech
