I think if you are in a position of public admiration and respect, you have a greater burden of responsibility for the messages you put out into the world. Rodgers branding himself a critical thinker in this case is further reinforcement for others who have drawn the same conclusions from thinking in the same way, and even worse, those who may have been on the fence. It’s not a great source of harm for Joe Shmoe to suffer from Dunning-Kruger, it’s another matter entirely for someone with a platform, who others look up to.
