These two gentlemen proposed a theory in the December of 1999, for which they were aptly awarded in October, 2000. What theory did they propound?
Answer: The Dunning-Kruger Effect.
They were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Psychology in 2000.
The paper was titled, "Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments". You can download it here.
