You overestimate them. Simple-minded folks have serious difficulty reasonning about any concept that require you to either :
Think of an abstract concept.
Hold and evaluate a thought they don’t agree with
Any sort of application of logic and critical thinking requiring you to evaluate more than 1 or 2 elements in serie.
Their mind reset after making 1 “logical” deduction. Leaving them unable to evaluate both premises and arguments, or abstract concepts, or hold contradicting thoughts for evaluation, or any sort of concrete mental modeling of anything but the simplest cause to effect situations.
In that sense, the dumbest amongst us are not just incapable to do sciences, they can barely comprehend the very simple things surrounding them. They survive by gut-feeling, learned patterns, groupthink, and are driven by emotions (since it is all they have).
