I had not heard of the Dunning-Kruger Curve, though had heard about human tendency to over estimate our own intelligence. It’s really good to have the wiki graph image in mind (being something of a jack of many trades but master of nothing—clearly something to take a personal interest in ;-)
At the same time, it’s not like the AMA or FDA or even the complex of industry controls are getting things right all the time, or even consistently weeding out the bad actors. Rather than a status quo is working or we need to change because something is not working, a better approach might be to frame the discussions in something of a Type I and Type II error context. Then we can focus on which error space represents the greatest costs/risk or greatest benefit for various settings. I’m not certain your were actually claiming the status quo is what we should want, I think more likely offering a balance to the OP’s claims.
