I think your judgement is a little harsh.
Randy isn't an intellectual, he's a salesman, it's what he does. When he's selling whatever he's selling, he doesn't need to understand what he's selling, he's just got to try to get his sales methodology right.
It's the same when he's selling Jesus - for heaven's sake he can't even see the curious contradiction that, while he's a Protestant who switched to Catholicism, all his sales materials and methodology are Protestant Evangelical.
So, Randy doesn't have discussions, he has sales methodologies.
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
These things are, we conjecture, like the truth.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
Xenophanes
