ITYM "dumb" rather than "stupid" ("dumb" is curable via education;
"stupid" is as "stupid" does).
That was actually a stated policy in a university (!!) where I worked
previously. In that boss's own words, "If we allow you more training,
your marketability will be enhanced and you'll leave us for more money
somewhere else."
Well, "No $h1t, Sherlock!"
