> You could've just as easily said "investors are morons"

A distinction without a difference. They mean the same thing.

When "moron" started getting used as a slur, "retarded" was introduced. When "retarded" got used as a slur, "mentally challenged" was introduced.

Now that "mentally challenged" is being used as a slur, there'll soon be a replacement along .
