I never heard the word dummy used to describe a pacifier. I interpreted the title to mean that even a dummy could figure out how to silence a baby with a pacifier. As such, I didn't find the title mean spirited at all. I can't imagine anyone interpreting the title to imply that a baby is a dummy. Then again, most babies do have the brain capacity of an infant. ;)

Same here ... too bad it seems to diminish so rapidly with age....
Being from the same wee island..I got the "pacifier" reference immediately...however, it took a few seconds before the analogy with the book series clicked..It did bring a smile (very clever)
