The brilliant quadrapelegic behind string theory? His social "ability" is about the level of a 6 year old. With so many exceptions to this rule, wouldn't it be safer to consider intelligence based on content rather than execution?

Not being able to speak or being disabled is a bit different than cussing in public. When someone overcurses in public, it's a sign that they don't know how society views the word, or even worse, they don't care.
