Two thumbs up to that one! It reminds me of another word which should not
be used in intellectual debates (mostly because it's an ad hominem):

"Also, recall: stupidity [as opposed to slow processing] is inherently
unverifiable by oneself with regard to oneself. I have very few uses
for that word; it seems to reduce the intelligence of the invoker."

(I really enjoy the disguised irony)
