A video describing how:
Dunning and Kruger's original study does not describe "Mount Stupid" in any way, describing this line instead.
The Dunning Kruger effect isn't about being 'stupid', it's about lack of knowledge in a given field, and your ability to assess known unknowns and what remains as unknown unknowns with any given amount of knowledge.
The line linked above shows people who perform worse at tests rate their own performance worse than those who do better, showing the effect is not (primarily) about the arrogance of the stupid or whatever, people who do worse on tests tend to know that, they/we just greatly underestimate it (on average) . This also applies to beginners at any given subject.
The people who cite the Dunning Kruger effect in their content might not know any of this but confidently present the effect as such, proving the study's and effect's point.
