You're missing my simple point:

If everybody has an IQ of, say 100, how fair is it for the 160 genius to turn around and call everyone "stupid"? I mean, he's the exception. 100 is the rule (and "normal", not stupid).

In other words: the people MD called 'stupid" are just non-technical users. Michael is an advanced technical user, so he will be less prone to errors. No different than Michael Jordan calling us "stupid" for not knowing how to play the "triangle offense"...
