This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How is this new? The idea of WYSIATI was well described by Kahneman and others well over a decade ago and seems to cover this.

It also seems to be related to Dunning-Kruger, in that people are very bad at recognizing their own gaps in knowledge.

Hell yeah... I'm completely right when arguing with my wife until I'm not.
