Time for a nice, cold glass of Dunning-Kruger

August 16, 2021 1:54 am


Ad for Dunning-Kruger Whisky, for when you know more than the doctors about medicine.

“When you know more than the doctors who’ve spent their entire careers studying infectious diseases, it’s time for a Dunning-Kruger.”

I wish there were a requirement for inventors of internet memes to sign their work. Who gets credit for this whisky advertising mashup?

Now there’s a video ad, from Dr. Rohin Francis.

Tip of the old scrub brush to Nish Gandhi, DO @supreme_doc.

  1. Love this advert and come back to it every few months. I am a retired Public Health Doctor and the science around Covid is incredibly complex and the answers to some questions change almost daily as new strains emerge and the prevalence of the illness varies.

  2. Ellie corrected you already.

    But I am curious. I said nothing specific to science in the post. What did you think I was saying about science, and where did you get that idea that I said it?

  3. Give me the award when you prove my simple statement to be in error. I have not disagreed with the scientific experts, only with the idea that questioning science, even by other scientists, is stupid.

  5. Science?

  7. Yes, because science has never been and never will be wrong.
