> the meme is not that actual ability and self-assessment are negatively correlated

I don't think there's a single DK meme, but I do think that this is a common DK meme.

Somewhat-serious suggestion: maybe people who actually understand DK, have a tendency to underestimate how well they understand it relative to everyone else, and so assume that everyone else understands it about as well as they do.
