What is the Dunning-Kruger effect? Wikipedia:

Well, well! Are you going to keep this up, guys?! I asked a
question on technology, and got a couple of answers. Since then,
you are doing your worst insulting me.
OK, Mody: 1) I have a degree in CS myself, probably not as fancy
as yours, but fancy enough to know this is not CS, but CP
(computer practice). You can't pull rank.
2) And, I happen to be a teacher myself. And the *one* thing I
always encourage my students is: be *active* with your material!
Think, write, draw, ask, answer, juggle. You, on the other hand:
when I ask how to hide the $ sign - which is doable with *one*
line of Elisp, a solution which worked instantly, and in the
process brought clarity to another thing I didn't know, namely
fringes - you think this illusory superiority, of an unskilled
individual? I hope for your students sake this is not how you
treat them.
