I disagree with labeling anyone as an "idiot." Mostly because it gives a false sense of security that our brains are somehow immune from error.
For me personally, concluding the earth is round requires making measurements and observations that I'm not in a position to make. So I welcome being questioned about something I accepted on the authority of others.
Our brains are not immune to errors. But they are generally far less susceptible to error, particularly where that counts, than yours.
