We had another classification, the Tread. Treads think they are as smart as Nerds but aren't.

Winston,
Thanks for the link. My wife (who will have been married to an engineer for 44 years on Monday) and I really enjoyed it.

Dunning–Kruger effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunni...93Kruger_effect The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. For a perfect example of that with respect to bureaucrats and bureaucracies where those who make unbelievably stupid and absolutely clueless decisions don't suffer the consequences of them, check out the great book "The Afghanistan Papers: A Secret History of the War" which I just finished. "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong." - Thomas Sowell
