Darwin keenly observes the paradox where those with limited understanding often exhibit unwarranted certainty. This phenomenon, known today as the Dunning-Kruger effect, highlights how a lack of knowledge can lead to overconfidence. His insight cautions us to remain humble and open-minded, recognizing the vast expanse of what we don't know. It champions a spirit of inquiry and continuous learning over definitive pronouncements.
