The research, led by David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University, shows that incompetent people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people, or the quality of those people's ideas. For example, if people lack expertise on tax reform, it is very difficult for them to identify the candidates who are actual experts. They simply lack the mental tools needed to make meaningful judgments.
As a result, no amount of information or facts about political candidates can override the inherent inability of many voters to accurately evaluate them. On top of that, "very smartideas are going to be hard for people to adopt, because most people don’t have the sophistication to recognize how good an idea is," Dunning told Life's Little Mysteries.
Two idiots with no clue. A vote is a transaction. What they observe is that 30% of us vote entirely different transactions than the 70%, look at the variance in fair voting across the Senate. When the voting transaction only implies 1/5 of the normal information, the voter gives it 1/5 of his attention. The voters are a smarter then these two idiots. What example to these bozos give? Universal health care. It ain't universal, it is highly dependent on the extra voting power that some Senators get, remember the giveaways?
