I mean it. I had a father that constantly called me "stupid" when I didn't catch on to things. (If I had not swilled almost a pint of vodka to dull the  pain in my leg I would never admit to this in public) I have a BA, MA, and all sort of degrees and still sometimes if I can't figure something out I feel like the stupidest person alive. If I wasn't in my cups, I never would post that. Thanks, Dave, for being a true friend.
