I never said they were dumb. But it takes a long time of observing and reasoning to get such a result. And yes, archeology shows that between alternating crops and non-use as the early version and the "modern" three-crop-rotation is a four-digit gap.
That's good logic, but you're using it wrong...
You're saying it took a long time for them to figure it out, but also that they figured it out almost immediately after the last ice age.
Now think about that...
Even if you say it took a thousand years after the last ice age, we had ~200,000 years as a species before the last ice age started, and we've been thru multiple.
If we figured it out right after the last ice age, why didn't the group of humans between the last two ice ages figure it out?
The most plausible answer is that they did, and that anyone expecting to find evidence from before the last ice age even started doesn't understand anything about archeology.
I'm not saying they had modern society, but statistically speaking they figured out agriculture because virtually every human population this cycle was able to figure it out independently real quick after the whole ice age thing blew over.
