Those who have a good knowledge of Arabic, and those who are honest, will be ready to admit that the Quran is untouchable in terms of its poetic eloquence and beauty. This is called the challenge of the Quran, which is to produce a single chapter in Arabic which is better than the Quran, as Allah said, "And if you are in doubt as to that which We have revealed to Our servant, then bring a single chapter like it, and call your witnesses besides God if you are truthful" (Surah 2:23)". Some of the most skilled poets and writers (both Arabs and non-Arabs) have tried to meet this challenge, but as predicted in the Quran, nobody was able to meet the challenge since the past 1,400 years. Also, remember that the Prophet lived amongst the illiterate Bedouins and he was an illiterate man himself. This is why it is counter-intuitive to think that he would be able to write such a book like the Quran.
So, if what you said is true, that the people didn't have "comprehension of language," then this is actually more evidence that the Quran cannot be the work of illiterate men.

Because it is an example of abrogation:
"Whichever revelation We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We substitute something better than it or similar to it. Know you not that Allah has power over all things?" (2:106)
