In this world he had no choice but inhabit the brain of a moron. But He did have choice of sorts in also mimicking the conduct of baffoon.

Here's a start then - the combination of the respiration and food/drink ingestion tract. Choking? Death death death death etc...why weren't humans given a blow hole like a whale? Because evolution is blind, of course.
Any more for any more?
I understand the notion that human eyes are more poorly designed than squid eyes because blood vessel supplying vertebrate retina block light from reaching retina is not nearly as strong as it appears.
The arrangement in squid eyes may not let blood vessels block light, but it also limits the amount of blood vessels that can supply blood to the retina. As a result, each retina cells is limited in how fast it can metabolize away the effects of reacting to photons of light hitting it, and “reset” itself to be ready to react to more light. In effect, squid eyes are capable of only a low frame rate.
So Human eyes can not as sensitive to low light as squid eyes theoretically can be because human retina is partially blocked by blood vessels supplying blood to retina. But by the same token, human eyes can register fast movement much more effectively than squid eyes because humans retina can see with a much higher frame rate, so to speak.
