Enlightenment seems to be a series of plateaus and not a final destination. I believe he had enlightenment experiences, and possibly a plateau change, but he didn’t seem to be a deep diver, but more of a toe dipper. The majority of seekers however never reach the first plateau.

I have come to learn enlightened people, seems to be from observant people, who are able to put their insights into a way for others to understand. Abstract thinking and mindset, phrases, and generalization of bigger thoughts, that have a hint of something to ponder on.
