If "stupid" means "not enough knowledge" then yes, the person might
have not enough knowledge to be able to understand the principles
which then combines some case with a personality disorders that is
preventing him to learn the principles.

How many times I have seen in this list that someone asked a review
and when valuable comments had made they had been ignored completely.
And then the very same questions had taken by the same person all over
again. In addition to this when you dare to mention that it had been
discussed already, that person even start quarrelling at you.

Maybe the word "stupid" is not the right one but "ignorant" and
"arrogant" are quite close to that in my opinion. And yes, I had been
lost my temper many cases in these situations too, so it is not quite
fair to project the whole problem onto one particular member on this
list.
