I wouldn't say Hastings was OFFENSIVELY stupid. He couldn't figure out Poirot's case but, fair enough, neither could I. But Poirot definitely considered him too stupid to be a detective, and he was, and I agree that, along with film adaptations through the ages, Hastings may be one of the reasons for the "stupid Watson" idea.
