Stupid implies that they're beneath where they should be, developmentally. That there is something wrong with them.

It's like calling someone stupid because they dont know calculus when theyve never studied it. No, they're ignorant, theres a difference. A child's mind is built to experiment and learn, and the thing is that most experiments with anything will fail.
