Derrick Effect

The Derrick Effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to realize their mistakes. The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average, much higher than it actually is. This leads to the situation in which less competent people rate their own ability higher than more competent people.
He thinks he works hard but he is just suffering from the Derrick Effect.

Plot Device

A fatal disease that causes the death of a character, whether major or minor. The character(s) that has died of Plot Device has/have bitten the dust in order to somehow advance the plot (ie: the plot would not move forward without their death)

To determine if the true cause of a character's death was indeed Plot Device, one needs to look at the events following the death and ask if the plot would have moved forward if the character hadn't died. If it would not have, the character has died of Plot Device.

(Plot Device was named so by the fact that anything that moves the plot forward is a plot device.)
Lily and James Potter (Harry Potter), L (Death Note), Shinobu Sensui (YuYu Hakusho), Press Tilton (Pendragon), Brom (Eragon), Mr. and Mrs. Wayne (Batman), and many more have died from Plot Device.

Unfortunately, Plot Device seems to be the true killer of many of the fan-favorites.
