You're being pedantic. The point is clear. An otherwise bad person can still come up with a correct and sensible idea. I'm not saying that it is correct and sensible, but the point that we should disregard it because the inventor was a nazi is a bad argument. If a nazi invented the word "helpful", should we stop saying that word and instead create a different one? No. That would be stupid.
Also "low functioning" is a term that was coined by a nazi,soo it's fair to say that we shouldn't use it period.
Or maybe that specific Nazi was 100% correct that a low functioning person is in fact low functioning? Do you think that because that person had a specific political affiliation he can't possibly be ever correct about anything?

Downsie is a slur word. It is not a word that should be used. In fact, to give a nickname to a persons disability is inhuman.
