Yes, it does, but that is the modern interpetation.

"Simple-minded" has always been an insult in my world.

The definition I gave above came from the dictionary. And I didn't leave anything out.

there could be some condescension in reeds choice of words but there was too much love for his subject for it to matter. how do you describe, after all, someone who is dumb as a post — who joins the army. these days the army runs IQ tests on people who want to join. I don’t think the army takes anyone with an IQ below 90. That rules out a lot of people. The army didn’t used to be that way.
