You can’t call someone dumb because they made a mistake like that. If someone makes a mistake like ‘-2 x 8 = 16’ instead of ‘-16’ because they weren’t paying attention to what they were doing, would you call them dumb? If someone misused a semi-colon, would you call them dumb? If someone mistook a sulfate ion for a sulfite ion on a chemistry test, would you call them dumb?
