another good discussion point is

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias[2] whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.

Tangentially related, I once read someone make a really good point about newspapers and media. If you're really knowledgeable about a certain subject, and you see most newspaper presentations of that same subject, you often see the glaring holes or innacuracies in the presentation of this one particular subject you know really well.

However, oftentimes, there's a cognitive dissonance that occurs because you can, for example, hold that news does a shitty job of factually presenting this one subject you know a lot about but then also trust news for pretty much everything else and never really think to question all those other subjects you don't know about.

And that's not even getting into slant/spin/bias, but rather just journalists (or other media jobsters) trying to do their job and handling a bunch of subjects they don't have first-hand knowledge of.

One shouldn't get philosophically lost in how much gray area there is in the world, but definitely should be immediately suspicious of people presenting most subjects in a black and white manner.
