I think it was a case of using him to establish how clever they were

View original postI also was a bit surprised that he couldn't keep up with them, but I also think it might be a case of he's playing to their perceptions, making it seem like he is slow witted.
I'd like to think Varys was pretending to be dumber and I suppose it is open to audience interpretation but I think the writers were using him to establish how sharp-witted those talking with him were were rather than lower him. So long as they don't do it too much its fine, otherwise we get an equivalent of the Worf Effect
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

I'm a season behind as I've been from the start, but I agree about Tywin.
