There’s a wonderful piece of research by a guy called David Dunning at Cornell, who’s a friend of mine I’m proud to say, who pointed out that to know how good you are at something, requires the same amount of skills as to be good at that thing in the first place. Which means, and this is terribly funny, that if you’re absolutely no good at something at all, then you lack exactly the skills to know that you’re absolutely no good at it. And this explains, not just Hollywood, but almost the entirety of Fox News.
