Assuming this is the conversation you are referencing, it's abundantly clear that he has suffered from far more than retrograde amnesia. His curiosity and thirst for knowledge is now equivalent to that of a naive young child's. His attention is far more prone to waning that before. And more than anything, his cognitive ability is clearly impaired when he fails to grasp even the basic concepts of a machine he almost single-handedly invented, merely reciting a string of words collated before his neutralization, now meaningless to him. Retrograde amnesia of the type you reference does not affect a person's cognition, yet Jindosh's is now undoubtedly lessened.

@Geist - True, and that's not precluded. But be that as it may, Jindosh's intellect had been significantly dulled at least in the immediate aftermath of his nonlethal elimination.
