...the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition,...

Wait! Gee isn't sharing his methodology and is using cherry picked data .
I am shocked I tell you shocked!

I'm trying to understand WHY it is so critical to Gee's Missing Papyri Theory that all of the translation process took place in 1835.
