Article seems to be saying “DK doesn’t exist because it always exists”. Which is… absurd?
The point of DK is that when you don’t know shit, any non-degenerate self assessment will result in overestimating your ability. In short, “there are more natural numbers above smaller natural numbers than bigger ones”. This doesn’t have to do with psychology, and it’s expected that it appears when evaluating random data. That’s a good thing! It means DK exists even when us pesky humans aren’t involved at all, not that DK doesn’t exist at all.
