it's very common for two people to think the other is less intelligent. The judge may agree with one of them or both of them or disagree with both of them.
To better explain this, assume that A and B are the two people of our interest.
Let aA, aB be the values of A, B from A's perspective. Let bA, bB be the values of A, B from B's perspective.
There is also the views from the judge. Let's call them A, B.
case 1,
A=aA=bA
B=aB=bB
This is the only happy world.
case 2,
A=aA=bA
B=aB
In this case B considers himself being undervalued.
case 3,
A
B
In this case A and B are happy with each other's position but in the judge's eyes, both are overvalued.

Things become more complicated when there are more people involved and the apprearance of the super judge.
Understanding this is the first step toward a better relationship with the rest of the world.
