    You’re the perfect audience for their paper. Let them know what parts weren’t clear or convincing. There’s always something.

    l often think the same until I actually have a chance to talk to the people in question.

    Most times it turns out they are quite similar to me.

    You are probably better than you think you are!

    That’s how I feel during code review sometimes. Looking over someone’s code who is clearly way more experienced than me is interesting

      Same. I’ve been on both ends though.

      Where my peer is either above or below my skill level.

      So low they can’t read it. So high thier shit would be 3x longer than mine…

        In a similar sense to another comment on here having a more junior person read your code can be quite valuable too. If they can’t understand it, it could be a risk and it might be worth thinking about ways to simplify it. Not that it’s always going to be possible but still helpful to know that it’s a maintainability risk.

          Yeah what I’ve done with a junior is basically read through the logic of my code to ensure I didn’t miss any steps.

      They can see blue and yellow, also green, and “browns”. They don’t have red receptors so red orange and purple look grey/ brown to them.

      i’d say that’s the point? the dog is looking at the limited colours it can see, not comprehending that the researcher that laid out the graph has an increased ability in perceiving colours.

      it’s a manifestation of the dunning-kruger effect.

    Yeah, I got a couple of review requests of papers in fields I had absolutely no clue about. After declining the fivth I felt the need to press accept and spent the next weeks trying to get into that topic and write at least something useful. That moment I learned were all those BS reviews come from, which I usually get for my papers XD
