One can imagine that these neurological deficits must be difficult to replicate, and very taxing on the person trying to do so. Might as well just punt and forget it ever existed.
We saw something similar with the super-fake-ass 2011 Tucson shooting, where Congressunit Gabby Giffords supposedly took one to the head and suffered severe brain damage. At the time, the constantly reinforced "proof" of her injury was that she had very obvious "aphasia".
Years ago, a close friend of my mother's had a stroke during surgery and also ended up suffering from aphasia. She would stammer and search around for even familiar words. Once you knew what you were looking at, it was quite distinct.
Since such a neurological condition would be hard to replicate, they just had Giffords talk like a baby. Anyone of us can do that for as long as we care to. It's quite laughable compared to real aphasia.
And in the rewrite of history that we all must now expect, if you look at the wiki writeup on Gifford's recovery, they don't even use the word "aphasia". Too easy for someone to click on the link and see that's clearly not what she exhibits.
If it was me running the show, I'd just drop the whole pretense and go with the story that both Giffords and Fetterman were miraculously cured by sacrifice to their Lord and Master, Satan.
