Who comes up with this stuff anyway? There are a half dozen old terms for people with an intellectual disability. Most of them are still common and accepted in speech, (dumb, idiot, fool, stupid, imbecile). How did this one word get elevated to such triggering heights? It means the same thing and has the same connotation as those other words! I swear we are entering a neovictorian age.

Frustration and hours of "fiddling" is my guess, suddenly you did something that worked. The worst is when you can't remember the exact steps!
Not that I have this issue myself, I have the dual sense which seems to work fine.
