Another behavior related to Dunning-Kruger would be a tendency to appeal to some kind of superior credential, even and especially if it is completely unrelated to the given debate at hand. Such a credential would be physical age: “Well young man, I am twenty years your senior, I think I know a thing or two.” Or, “You’re talking to a decorated veteran, show some respect!” Or, “I’ve lived a good life, had a lucrative career, raised three upstanding children, and am a grandparent to boot! I think my opinion should matter!” This tendency to take shelter in some kind of superior, if wholly unrelated and even irrelevant credential, is widespread and sometimes very problematic.

Creator described the ego in a previous GetWisdom LIVE program as follows: “The ego is a limited vessel, a limited capability that puts the self, first. As such, it is kind of like having a suit of armor that is self-protective. It might be awkward to wear, inconvenient, even drag you down from the sheer weight and inconvenience of suiting up before you make an excursion where you are at risk, but a potential lifesaver if you are attacked and would otherwise be vulnerable and perish. The suit of armor gives you a fighting chance at least. The ego, in the same way, is more like a weapon in being quite focused on your supremacy. In a sense, it is your last refuge to maintain an advantage and hold your ground to stand up to those who would bully you or intimidate, and provide a wherewithal to weather the storm.” The Dunning-Kruger effect appears to be the ego fulfilling this very function in a crude, imprecise, but very forceful and compelling manner.
