Absence of knowledge about good and evil defines the perfect simpleton. Going by American judicial standards, as far as I understand them, such a person wouldn't be found responsible for any crime they committed. They simply don't know right from wrong. So, this god saying, don't eat, doesn't trigger anything in the mind of people like that.
