Needless to say, I only agree with the first reply here; saying that she'd end up "swallowing a pet kitten whole" is such a gross downplay of her intelligence that it's not even funny.

She's not stupid; she just seems that way because she can only focus on one thing at a time. She atleast twice in the series gets passing marks on tests when she puts her mind to it, which is something that some fans still choose to ignore. Additionally, she is still shown to be talented with the guitar, so she is also mentally competent enough to play it.

This exchange as a whole however reminds me of how irritating it is that so many fans of the series tend to always get on Yui's case about everything while sometimes putting someone like Mio on a golden pedestal for every little thing that she does at the same time. They'll attack Yui for being either too 'stupid', 'annoying', or a 'hindrance' to the club, seemingly forgetting that K-ON is a light-hearted and comedic slice-of-life show with no stakes whatsoever. The less you try to complain about how 'dumb' or 'naive' Yui is, the more you'll enjoy the show I feel.
