    Summary

    The Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited knowledge in an intellectual or social domain overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain. When people gain more knowledge, their confidence often decreases as they become aware of how much they do not know.

    _

    Fernando has spent years building his life on certainty, on confidence. Across races, seasons, decades, he has learned to trust his knowledge and ignore everything that strays from it.

    But certainty is not the same as truth.

    Summary

    Ilya shoulders his way through the bathroom's door and promptly steps over a trailing, ridiculous fucking piece of fabric, causing whoever is wearing it to bump against his back.

    "What the fuck?" He snaps, irritated beyond rationality.

    "Watch were you're going, dickhead." The guy spits right back without missing a beat.

    He turns around, but whatever pissed off retort brewing inside his mouth dies on his tongue when he takes on the guy in front of him. For a split second, his brain screeches to a halt at the sight of Shane Hollander, except then it quickly comes to the bizarre realization that it isn't him.

    There's a bewildered pout on his plump, shiny lips. He's taking Ilya in with the same cautious scrutiny, like he's not sure of what he's seeing.

    "Connor?" He says, voice going slightly high pitched right at the end.

    Ilya frowns. He's pissed off and nowhere near drunk enough for this.

    "Who the fuck is Connor?"

    “I think you know.”
    Shit.
    Yeah, Hudson knows. He’s been obsessed with the scene, which is why he started talking about it in the first place.
