Candide, as he was returning home, made profound reflections on the Turk’s discourse. “This good old man,” said he to Pangloss and Martin, “appears to me to have chosen for himself a lot much preferable to that of the six kings with whom we had the honor to sup.” … “Neither need you tell me,” said Candide, “that we must take care of our garden.” “You are in the right,” said Pangloss; “for when man was put into the garden of Eden, it was with an intent to dress it: and this proves that man was not born to be idle.” “Work then without disputing,” said Martin; “it is the only way to render life supportable.”

No, he wasn't this dumb, he just used a strawman on any idea he didn't like and since he had an excellent reputation, everybody took his intellectual dishonesty seriously. That's also how he managed to ruin Rousseau's life.
He was a terrible person and probably the most overrated French philosopher of all time.
