When people have a person over them who has undisputed power, sometimes they act stupid as an instinctual act of submissiveness, to show that they are obediant and don't want to be punished. This can be seen in some situations with humans, how when someone thinks you are stupid, and yet they have ultimate power over you, you act stupid just so you won't have to disagree with them and make them angry. But over time your opinion of your own intellectual capabilities takes the form of the acted-mind you display day after day after day...
doesn't sound probable, but it's something to take into consideration...maybe...
