The positive takeaway from understanding the DK effect for me is that you are capable of recognizing your own incompetence in certain arenas then you are surely less ignorant than many. And on the flipside, if you find yourself unbearably confident, certain that you're an expert in a given field or subject, you're probably suffering from the DK effect and your own ignorance denies you the ability to recognize it; better to step back and find out what you're missing.
