I think he was
trying to say that what they believe is retarded. And, by extension, saying that says something disparaging about the analytical ability of said people; it's unavoidable. Either way, people who believe such things are not thinking as clearly and as rationally as they could be, regardless of whether they appear to be.
'Retarded' is a bit harsh, but then, this isn't a diplomatic forum.
