I found Jorge to be eloquent but not intellectual. He routinely engaged in arguments/discussions in which he put his view forward in an eloquent manner, however when presented with clear and obvious evidence that the view he was espousing was filled with logical holes, he would invariably resort to whataboutery and deflection, anything to divert the focus away from the fact that he couldn't argue his point logically.

I always assume people like this do so because they lack the intellect required. Possibly his 'conditions' prevented him from using the intellect he possessed.
