Re:iPhones 'disabled' if Apple detects third-party repairs by tamana on Saturday February 06, 2016 @11:06AM (#11048228)
Almost very proposed alternative means somethig exactly equivalent to "retarded", a medical word for a disability. It's a euphemism treadmill.

Dumb = mute

Idiot, moron = low IQ

Lame = non-functioning limb

The problem is not choice of words, the problem is insulting someone by calling them "low intelligence" instead of short-sighted (oops! That's a visual disability) or careless or selfish or unimaginative or impatient.
