In the spirit of the post, I'd rather compose it as: trolling == Dunning-Kruger.

Isn't "trolling" intentional? If it's just because you don't know better, it isn't trolling.

"Trolling" is a term of perspective, if you are witnessing the trolling then you have no information about the original intent.

I find trolling used as a "term of perspective" an extremely vague blanket accusation that hinders discussion.

If it's an obvious trolling, e.g something that can not be considered anything else than an attempt at troll, it's ok.

But characterizing anything else trolling is just an easy cop-out of the discussion.

I was referring to trolling as something one does, rather than troll as something one is.
