Lol, Dunning-Kruger was debunked years ago, it's just a statistical artifact (auto correlation). Look it up!

Your fallacy is (a) assuming that money automatically buys competence and (b) assuming that whoever did this was willing engage professionals to do it. Hit it's a conspiracy so they had good reasons not to do that.

I would posit that DIE automatically (or almost) insures the purchase of incompetence.

So you are saying that there are not people who think they know a lot about a topic which they know absolutely nothing about ... yet insist they do.... do not exist?

Perhaps you do not understand what the syndrome actually is...

In layman's terminology these people are referred to as fools.

I've read the original paper by Dunning and Kruger. Have you? Probably not because that's not exactly what the Dunning-Kruger hypothesis claimed, but anyway, even ignoring that, basically yes. When tested people are pretty good at estimating their own degree of skill. That doesn't mean there are zero such people only that if you do tests of randomly selected people that problem will only rarely show up.
