Reply #25: It's the Dunning-Kruger effect

[saras]

Most people are so ignorant they don't even know that there's a field they're ignorant of, with skills, specialties, and techniques.

And I suspect something the teacher was careful not to say anything about was the ATTITUDE of the evaluator.

Of course, if the "evaluation" amounts to checking whether the person evaluated followed a large number of petty rules to the letter, then pretty much anyone can do it, and skill or knowledge isn't required.
