I think that most of the time, when an author claims his work is terrible and horrible and embarassing, it's guaranteed he's only fishing for compliments.
Having seen some of Tom's old comics and scribbles, I do believe that he's one of the exceptions to the rule and dude does honestly believe his work is not up to snuff.

No, it's actually a proven cognitive bias called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Competence breeds self-awareness.

Well that's what I get for skimming.

But it is true that the entirety of the rest of the article talks primarily about unskilled people suffering from illusory superiority. I only see illusory inferiority mentioned once or twice. The original study only deals with illusory superiority.

That it does, but the larger point stands: that study and the associated effect explains, at a guess, 90% of the Internet.
