The Tezyln Figaro Effect

Replaces Dunning-Kruger Effect
- a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.
More specifically, The Tezyln Figaro Effect covers the behaviour, attitude, and mannerisms of its namesake. Those inflicted with this mental disorder often exhibit delusions of moral superiority, an insufferable attitude due their self righteous nature, and unjustifiably smug demeanor because of their own overestimation of their knowledge and abilities.
