Inspired by recent posts (in Finnish) by @kaarne, I’ve been trying to remember the name to the cultural phenomenon where professionals (physicists, but also engineers and others) hubristically assume they can apply their skills to other fields.

@dchooper91 dug up this relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/793 (thanks!)

And I discovered the saying “ne supra crepidiam” (cobbler, keep to your last/suutari pysyköön lestissään): en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cobbler…
- from whence the word ‘ultracrepidarian’.

But I encountered a more general name for this phenomenon at some point, and it had a nicely written Wikipedia article. Does have any idea what it might be?

I’d love to remember it because this phenomenon drives me up the walls and having a name for it might help. 😁
