Here is the exact quote, it actually comes from one of the earliest interviews about Watchmen.

>many of them are just idiots lacking any type of critical thinking skills
Sure, but I don't think this example specifically is an issue of lacking "critical thinking skills". Readers understand the characters’ thought process and what motivated the writer to make certain decisions just fine, but sympathizing is an almost purely emotional response. Moore probably expected readers would both empathize and sympathize, but those expectations were just half-right.
