In a nutshell, Dunning-Kruger Effect is a tendency toward faulty self-appraisal in areas of knowledge or expertise: unskilled people may overestimate their abilities
If Australian Idol is a regional variant of the television show called American Idol in the U.S., the audition phase of the program is an especially vivid and painful example
To me it seems quite amusing and unintentionally ironical that somebody who has posted thishttps://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=36282.msg418949#msg418949has now opened this particular thread....
Oh, I'm sure it's no mere coincidence. In the story of the forum, you know, the one that whom(s)ever is writing on a day-to-day basis (sshhhh ... I think it's somehow supposed to be a kind of "secret"), for one, it takes all types, right ? I think I read that somewhere around here not too long ago. And, B, every (good) story needs a good dose of irony (especially following a dose of drama). I have come to realize through reading this forum that the key to creating a believable character lay in idiosyncrasies and consistency. And then, those characters together are supposed to create a dynamic kind of tapestry, which creates the story. However, I am personally much more interested in the dynamics of each individual character, which, somebody is seemingly neglecting to write into the storyline here ... static characters always seem to die off (or at least they lose the interest of the reader) ... at least eventually. Dynamic characters are most interesting to me because it symbolizes some kind of fundamental alteration and modification (at least the sorts of dynamics I am most interested in), but that's pretty scary for most people since it means those individuals would need to open themselves up a bit. Ah well.Then again, there's always ThalyBear . Well, back to the piano .
Woah ... what in the world are you talking about ?
Your comment is inapposite.Marik revived a month-old thread not to offer his own answer to the original poster's question or even to give his own opinion about what is, after all, a matter of opinion, but simply to attack my opinion instead. Furthermore, his suggestion that the order of difficulty of Chopin's etudes is well-settled and unanimously accepted among musicians was simply bogus.I gave him the same respect I accord any stranger on the internet about whom I know nothing. I expect the same in return, and I didn't get it.

Oh no. What you say is "bogus". If you really had taken the time and for instance read some of Marik's posts where he talks about Chopin etudes and listened to some of his recordings you would have never written like this. At least I do very much hope so.I guess there is somebody who needs a bit to research about "who is who", and not only about "whom is whom"...
That's not how it works. Nobody is obliged to do background research on someone's expertise or posting history before responding.
Yes you're right. A bit of respect would be enough...
I agree, and I give as good as I get! Now consider that I'm supposed to have disrespected Marik without knowing anything about him; at the same time, I'm being disrespected by people who know nothing about me. I think there's some humor and unintentional irony in that.
I think this is a load of bolloxThal
You don't know anything fatty.Everyone here thinks you are a weirdo.Thal
Shows what you know then, you pile of worthless refuse.I once met Ashkenazy on a train, so i know what i am talking about.Thal
What!!!That was not Ashkenazy, just some dweeb in a white polo necked jumper.Get some glasses you short sighted overweight globule guts.Thal
Hey knobhead, keep up the insults and i will report you.Thal
You cannot report me you basketball shaped testicle as you cannot report your own posts.Thal
Well I have now read that whole conversation there again and I can't find anything disrespectful towards you in Marik's posts....plus he is telling a lot about his background and where he comes from and which whom he has studied and more...As I think well enough to give a very founded opinion.
Marik's posts amounted, in my opinion, to "I'm right and you're wrong" in both spirit and content. Whatever his qualifications and accomplishments, his communication style was confrontative and conveyed entitlement.
I had, after all, previously made my position very clear in a disclaimer that should have obviated any reason to dispute or discredit what I had written.
I believe I was prejudged to be a know-nothing newcomer by him, just as I have been subsequently judged by you and Karli.
In a nutshell, Dunning-Kruger Effect is a tendency toward faulty self-appraisal in areas of knowledge or expertise: unskilled people may overestimate their abilities, and, conversely, experts can understate or undervalue their own skill set.
Everyone here thinks you are a weirdo.

@Thal: ROFL @Gargamel: Nice to see you every once in a while. Good point @Karli: I must say, I also prefer the KruEger-effect

K. indubitably needs to win this thread.
