Protip: a character isn't stupid, being written stupid, or being 'dumbed down' for not having the near omnipresent access to the story like the player, reader or writer does.
Characters can be considered lacking intelligence for plenty of reasons but not possessing precognition, mind reading or omnipotence are really not among them and dear ranter it is most definitely not bad writing to take into consideration the character's limited view point.
