Even Buddhism has the concept of half or full enlightenment, so it would depend on where he started and what was considered "full" enlightenment in both his time and ours, so though I agree there may be some nuance in the statement, I don't agree that it would make much difference. He clearly had insights about life worth sharing and a style that counts as good (skilful) for many people.
