Pardon me for my bad English, why are they call him a dullard? Isn't it synonym for the “moron”?

- troymc 14y agoThe quote is, "On July 31 Mr Milner, by no means a dullard, announced..." That is, they're saying he's not a dullard. I can understand how the phrase "by no means a" could be confusing for someone new to English.

- edanm 14y agoIt is, but they say hes not a dullard. They're trying to emphasize the fact that even though he did not end up becoming a physicist, he's pretty smart.
