They are the weakest links
From a British health news website:
More than one in three children do not know that the main ingredient of chips is potato, according to research published today by the British Heart Foundation.
This latest news only confirms what many of us have known for years: Children are idiots. And yet there are still those who argue that children are somehow "insightful" or "wise." Such misapprehensions are evident in oft-repeated expressions like "out of the mouths of babes ..." I’ll tell you what comes out of the mouths of babes: Idiocy. The average child is slow-witted, poorly read and entirely incapable of carrying on a rational conversation on any topic outside of his or her own extremely limited purview. Ask most children where they stand on any number of pressing social issues and you will be greeted with blank stares or, worse, simple-minded platitudes. It’s embarrassing, really. You almost feel bad for the tiny fools. Almost.
