Though now popular terms of disparagement, Idiot, Imbecile, and Moron started life as diagnostics terms.
The idiot has the intellectual capacity of a normal human age two or three.
Your imbecile rises to the level expected of a three to seven year old.
And the moron tops out at seven to ten.
It tears ones heart to encounter a creature bearing such challenges in the complex world in which we find ourselves.
It tears at ones mind to find them in positions of great responsibility.
