Hmm.. If you have noticed such gradual change for the worse in his
understanding of physics, then I might have to review and update my
assessment that he is a high school drop out.

If you are correct, then he may even have an advanced degree in physics
from years back.

 He was an electrical engineer, apparently a good one. He had worked
his way up to a team lead and then a managerial position.
 

I rarely ever read something he posted (only very recently I've visited
relativity forum) so didn't have a chance to detect a gradual mental
decline in him.

Now my question. How do you know it is not caused by, say, advanced
alcoholism or some other form of substance abuse?

 I don't know. But I would guess not.
 

Why are you comparing
his case to that of a person who's undergoing gradual "dementia."?

 He'd never slipped up on basic first-semester physics before.

I was curious because there's almost nothing you can do in the way of reversing dementia, but alcohol and other substance abuses can be stopped and before too long, sanity and sense comes back to mind. Brain becomes functional again. I'm by the way NOT speaking from experience :-) Hehe :) Just common knowledge. So assuming the worst in his case I thought to be a bit too pessimistic. Addiction is not an irreversible disease.
