I have already pointed out that anyone capable of any kind of accomplishment cannot be called an idiot

You are making the same mistake that Nigel did earlier. Any discipline tends to use terms with a level of formality that is not present in every day English. In his case, he was mixing up the terms error and accuracy as used in every day English with the terms as used in a formal accountancy context. You are doing something similar: treating a common or garden sense of the word 'idiot' as if it was in a clinical or legal context.


Which of course has nothing to with Brexit. Why not comment on the debate about legal advice going on at this very minute in Parliament instead?
