Note: I don’t think objectively figuring out “am I competent or not?” is that hard of a question. It’s just one that the people who are incompetent will very likely get wrong in a highly predictable direction, so building norms that start with “if you think you are competent do X, if you don’t do Y” are hard to make work.
