He's not at all disabled for what he does, which is think, and he does that better than (I'm guessing here) any of us.

You try thinking productively with only a low bandwidth mechanism to bounce ideas off of other thinkers.

Also no ability to use paper and pencil, and still only a low bandwidth mechanism to store and retrieve notes to increase your effective memory.

All excellent points that I agree with. Absolutely a disability from standard human terms, did not mean to argue that. I only meant his brain is still incredibly sharp, and from that aspect he's at no disadvantage.
