No. Add yourself to the long list of people that do not understand the Dunning-Kruger effect.
In their study, they found that people that knew very little about a field of study would not know how much they did not know, and therefore overestimate their level of knowledge in that field. In contrast, the more people learned about a field of study, the more they realized how vast it was, and how little they knew in comparison, and therefore rated their own level of knowledge lower than the clueless noobs overestimation of their knowledge. A paradox of sorts.
This meme illustrates the concept of "argument from authority", suggesting that only experts can possibly understand anything at all about their field of study. They are basically saying "shut up and obey the experts". That is not the same as Dunning-Kruger.
The bottom half of the meme suggests to me...and I'm not asking that you or anyone else agree...a guy who is suddenly an expert after doing some google research.
If you don't see it that way, that's perfectly fine.
