Heck just look at the "4 Dummies" line of books that has catapulted so many subjects forward in "dumb" people. It's not that the people are dumb, it's that they're visual learners.

I'd say anyone purchasing a "Dummies" book has pretty much already come to grips with their cognitive limitations.
Over at Amazon.com, I found out that the same people who bought "Windows Xp for Dummies" bought "Word 2002 for Dummies", "The Internet for Dummies" and "AOL for Dummies".
(Yeah, I really looked it up)
I think this phenomenon goes well beyond these people's supposed "visual learning" prowess. It's not like there is a law of conservation of learning ability. Some people are just dumb. Now there are books for them too. Cool.
