Sometimes incompetence is useful
2Sometimes incompetence is useful
The whole quote is actually:
'Sometimes incompetence is useful. It helps you keep an open mind.' — Roberto Cavalli
It's the best line of the day and appears in today's Wall Street Journal front page story by Stacy Meichtry and Christina Passariello.
A Cornell University study has shown that most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent. People who do things badly are usually supremely confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who do things well.
One reason that the ignorant also tend to be the blissfully self-assured, the researchers believe, is that the skills required for competence often are the same skills necessary to recognize competence.
