I think the OP is first drawing a valid if glib opinion I don't agree with (Word lens is lame) and then mixing up his correlations (because you're still dumb) as well as vocabulary (it would be more accurate to say ignorant).

Word Lens is a breakthrough mainstream application when it comes to language barriers. Discounting that because there are still existing problems with communication in the world is, uh, dumb.



I think the writer meant "dumb" in the sense of "mute", while going for provocation since it's an obscure meaning of the word to many people.
