It's a mistake to read Abacab's ability to use rhetoric as intelligence. I've had several lengthly conversations with the guy, and beyond his limited scope of education, the subtleties of different kinds of hard rock music, who's in what scene in whatever backwards hole he lives in, and the People of Color rallies in his cities, he can't hold a conversation. He tries really hard, and you gotta give him that, but while his creative use of words may dazzle ignorant people, educated people will immediately see through his balderdash - which is why I think he makes himself relatively scarce. Demonstrating that he possesses anything close to a breadth of knowledge, critical thinking ability, or a high level of perception is simply beyond him.
