Unironically this is how stupid people actually work.

I can insult, say, a MAGA freak all I want, all my insults are too nuanced for them to truly understand. Half the things I think of as insults they think of as points of pride.

In a way, it must be a pleasure to be like that and have insults slide off you because you're simply too simple to understand them at all.

My wife best friend is married to a "functioning" savant. I would say he less Rainman but more asshole.

Dude can't catch a hint to save his life. Social cues are totally out the window. Dude just doesn't know the right thing to say at any situations.

I have years being upset with him and even having verbal battles with him.

I realized that I was in the wrong. He simply lacks the ability to comprehend why he can or can't say. Why am I wasting my time getting mad at him.

So I guess in this scenario, his brain has too many wrinkles that it's sorta smooth again.

I'd say it takes more wisdom to not let people get to you, literal and emotional.
