Lots of people in academia (not just 'juniors') say they experience Imposter Syndrome, where they really doubt their own expertise and capacity. But when you think back on some of the non-sensical reviewer comments you have seen, or the sage ramblings of some 'expert' conference attendee who was intent on sucking all the oxygen from the air, is it possible that Dunning-Kruger is actually more prevalent?
Feel free to offer your views (expert of course 🤣) !
Though I have run into one man who definitely got Dunning-Kruger, and he were from Uppsala univ on top of it all - though retired so I do not slander anyone currently active.
I must say that Impostor Syndrome is more common by far. But you should immediately disregard my opinion on the matter as I am a bona fide impostor, add the Lappish national characteristic of bad self esteem - then the final blow that I do not even got a Ph.D! ʕ•͡ȅ•ʔ
