I don’t think that Isusr has made an incorrect evaluation necessarily as I don’t personally know them and have no evidence to prove that it is incorrect.
I take issue with the fact that the piece to me seems to me to be an anecdotal explanation of the Dunning–Kruger effect written to place specific focus on the alleged aptitude and general intelligence of the author.
To offer a deeper explanation, I personally view the piece as doing the following things:
Explain some aspects of intelligence that people don’t normally like to hear about (really just some basic expounding of the themes in Competent Elites)
Make an interesting observation about how individuals can evaluate intelligence of others (specifically, evaluate them when they are younger than yourself)
If you find yourself starved for intellectual partners, advice on how to find them.
I don’t see any mention of confidence in the article, so I’m having trouble seeing how the Dunning-Kruger effect is related.
More importantly for me, I would like to take for granted what you believe the piece to be about so that we can focus on a specific question. So, Isusr is focusing on their own intelligence in this post, why do you find that problematic?

Exactly.
Rationalism is an eternal struggle between Dempster-Shafer and Dunning-Kruger.
