Glad you enjoyed the link. Scroll down in the comments until you find the link to the Stross story in Asimov's. It's only half a story, but it's dashed good fun.

I don't think you can educate beyond basic brain capacity, alas. Wooster was, IIRC, popularly believed to have been dropped on his head repeatedly as a baby. And I don't think the British boys' boarding school system is necessarily incompatible with having the emotional maturity of a half-baked clam.
