The intelligence behind this reasoning is junior high school level or lower.
I teach music and when a youngster tries something twice and can’t get it, the something is labeled ‘evil’ and must be avoided at all costs, even if they have to kill everyone around them.
I mastered morse code a 5 WPM in about 10 minutes. It took me 2 months of practice to move that to 20 WPM. Some things require LOTS of effort to master. I'm learning Welsh, German, Scots Gaelic, Irish, Japanese and Mandarin. Each language presents a different challenge. If you give up too soon, you'll never get there.
I taught an embedded systems class at a junior college from 1980 to 1983. I had some students who didn't "get it" and ran for the exits without trying. One student genuinely wanted to learn, but had trouble remembering things. I asked him to bring a small notebook and write down items when I explained them. It turns out he was an ex-con who volunteered to be a drug test subject in prison. The drugs damaged his short term memory. The notebook recommendation rescued his bacon in my class and all of the others. It was an accidental "win". I had no clue about his disability until some of the students invited me to join them after class and shared that info about the short term memory damage.
