Dunning-Krueger effect at work?
What is it? In a short one-liner (from Wikipedia):
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which an unskilled person makes poor decisions and reaches erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes.
Layman ver:
Someone being too stupid to realise he/she's stupid.
