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.

Extended Farahani Effect

- A much more intense version of Farahani Effect - aka EFE -
The act of ignoring someone beyond the extremes of realistic physics and even gods understanding

Coined after a great professor, who once sent a post on social media and a student asked a simple question under it;
what makes this event special is the fact that his comment was not only left unanswered but also got removed later that day

this incident gave rise to a theory called the Principle Methods of Ignoring or PMI which is currently being examined by the same prof. to see if he can find a militarized use for it.
Alex is still in hospital after the professor dropped an EFE (Extended Farahani Effect) bomb on him last week
