   At best you'll get the kind of incompetent bullshit that's   
   killed 1/2 mn Americans.

   5-sigma is a measure of correlation. It's not a measure of proof.   
   What data do you believe it to be correlating?

   Kruger and Dunning argue that for a given skill, incompetent people will:   
   1. tend to overestimate their own level of skill;   
   2. fail to recognize genuine skill in others;   
   3. fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;   
   4. recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, only if   
      they can be trained to substantially improve [their own performance].
