I suspect that brain surgery like was in its infancy in the 70s when Andre first talked to doctors in Japan about it, and the high mortality rate is probably what kept him off the table.

You can be articulate and struggle with a language. Its about expressing thoughts and ideas and getting your point across. So this had nothing to do with English being a second language. Im sure he spoke French much better than English but that doesn't necessarily make him articulate. In any event Gene was talking about the character of Andre, who was a man of action and few words.
