"They all shared one trait," reported the London Telegraph. It was "naivete." wonder how many words were rejected by the editor before they agreed on "naiveté"

Stupid
Unintelligent
Thick
Brainless
Slow on the uptake
Dense
Obtuse
Dim…..

[Paul Atreides]

You forgot, "traitorous."

[I] wonder how many words were rejected by the editor before they agreed on "naiveté"

I was thinking that too. The London Telegraph is supposed to be, or at least used to be, a frankly conservative newspaper, but now they try too hard to be middle of the road.

The word naiveté seems hard to argue with but explains nothing. Extreme anti-Americanism explains more.
