It's not engraving but can be applied to engraving and just about everything else. Interesting thoughts.

Favorite lines, so far:
"If you're incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent.…"
"people at all performance levels are equally poor at estimating their relative performance".
Uh, oh... can't post the best line in there - without "consequences".
Ya'all better read it for yourselves...

One of the better articles I have read from Wikipedia. Well sited and according to the references legitimate findings worthy of follow-up and further research. In this environment kudos and like comments are often given when work has genuine short-comings, The recent dissection of Bram's comments on another thread.
Doc that was fabulous. Love Darwin's quote.

That explains a LOT !
Or, as my Grandad used to say,
"Everyone is crazy, but me and thee.
And thou art just a little !"

Interesting article. I read several years ago that U.S. and several foreign country's students were given tests in a number of areas. Although the U.S. students did poorly compared to the other nations, they stated that they thought that they had done very well. I have come to the conclusion that we have given our children more support for their self-esteem than we have given them information and knowledge as a basis for their self-esteem.

Too bad an article like this is not required reading in the schools (at least the ones where they can still read)... but then you got the "self-esteem" thing mentioned above going on.
If it turns out Johnny can actually read... you probably wouldn't want him lookin' in the mirror wouldja?
When the kids nowadays (even a lot of adults) get into a situation where their pride or ego gets bent or even slightly singed - they can't handle it.
Instead you get screaming, whining, crying and a river of tears when "feelings" get hurt.
In our day there was no "political correctness" and both the joking insults and serious insults flew at you all day long...
You got tough, learned to toss 'em back, raise the ante with a bigger/better insult or ignore 'em completely.
But I suppose that there were always a few that never learned not to take life so seriously... and probably always will be.
