I think you've misunderstood, then. The GP's comment was using it in the technical sense (slowed/delayed, not the common "that's so dumb" form you've observed).

- zahlman 2y agoAh. The comment was: >Right. I made a reference to educational development being retarded due to COVID restrictions and the very people you'd expect to be offended were of course offended. I misread that, and interpreted "retarded" as being a subjective judgment applied to the restrictions. That said, the reading "[the process of] educational development has a mental disability" is utterly incoherent, so I still see no reasonable justification for taking offense.
