A recent article in the New York Times caught my eye. It discusses a paper in cognitive psychology titled "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties of Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-assessments."

those who don't have that much experience yet. In this world-view, the
amateur player makes a mistake but also fails to realize that it was a
mistake.
