Just a branch off thought I had when you said many people with PhDs have had Dunning-Kruger. In general, I think the way the term is used (especially online) is used incorrectly.

Everybody should experience Dunning-Kruger, it's part of the process of learning something. People who use it as an insult should be calling their accusee arrogant instead.
