(D) points out that there is a distinction between being stupid and being deceitful.

For example, say we know that "X is a banana" and we know that "all bananas are fruits". Does it follow that X is a fruit? Of course it does. Simple logic. But, does it follow that we should know that X is a fruit? Well, that depends on a lot of circumstances. Are we 15 months old? If that's the case, then probably not. Are we 15 years old with normal brain function? If so, then probably yes.

(D) is simply saying that when the witness said that "X is not a fruit" it could be that he's lying or it could be that he's stupid (or that he's a 15 month old baby, but now I'm being redundant).
