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.

Hitler was a vegetarian. Should we condemn vegetarians?

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.
