The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. David Dunning and Justin Kruger conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".
Kruger and Dunning proposed that, for a given skill, incompetent people will:
tend to overestimate their own level of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they are exposed to training for that skill

Black-body Radiation doesn't explain how the light is created or radiated

I read the responses, and you and your fellow debunkers post like a bunch of adolescents.
Anyone can google physic and post links and scientific terms on the forum, but only some dumb kid would think that makes him sound clever or intelligent. It takes intelligence to explain ones position using logic and reason, as it applies to the material presented, something you and your fellow de-bunkers have yet to do.
Someone scrapes a flint, creating plasma (spark) which ignites kindling, producing more plasma (fire), which heats the charcoal until it begins to burn on its own, creating a red glow, that looks like plasma (a flame inside of the coal) which consumes the charcoal briquette in the same way a plasma (fire) consumes a log. The process is essentially the same, so there is good reason to believe that there is plasma inside of the charcoal creating the heat and the light inside of the briquette.

Is that the diagnosis from someones therapist?
I hope they are getting treatment.
you just can't make this xxxx up.

What actually causes light radiation is still a mystery to modern science, as well as what creates a magnetic field.
