3 types of mistakes

According to this recent article in Scientific American, the three types are 1) the Dunning-Kruger type, in which the protagonist vastly overestimates his skill or knowledge, 2) impulsive mistakes, and 3) mistakes of inattention.  I've never made any of those, have you?

Happy birthday, a bit belated, my friend. Congratulations on another trip around the sun.

May the coming year bring you love, peace, wisdom, and happiness, in the proportions you prefer.
