"It is logically impossible for most of the population to have a mental age of below the age of seven, if by 'mental age below the age of seven' we mean 'mental age below the mental age of the majority of the population'." 😉

But at one time I think it was the name given to a person with a mental age below seven????
A moron is an adult with the mental capacity between 7 and 12.
Whereas an idiot is simply anybody who disagrees with me!!
(Technically an idiot is an adult with a mental age of < 3, but foolish people are sometimes regarded as idiots in a rather less specific sense.)
If these are the technical classifications then what do you call an adult with the mental of between 3 and 7?
How about a 'moriot'?
Speaking of moriots, there are a lot on this site.
Edit: Just read that Chimpanzees have a mental capacity of 5 so how about if the moriot definition holds for those >36 but

Did you fix your laptop?
Nigel Clough for next manager? It would make my dad happy, but I'm not convinced...
