I think if people at all levels of skill were reasonably good at measuring their own ability, we would see two curves that roughly overlap. Instead we see the graph given.
The fact that random noise can generate a mean curve on the Y axis doesn’t mean DK doesn’t exist. It just means DK’s mean self analysis resembles a middling random mean, which if you think about it, makes sense. Most people will probably self evaluate as average, regardless of their actual skill. This means DK is right as rain.
