I can't speak for the person you're talking about, but will speak for myself. I'm a reasonably articulate, intelligent person and there are times I stumble when I'm talking. Some times it's what others mentioned. It's like a verbal placeholder while I'm sorting out my thoughts.
I also have a medical condition that some times effects my ability to find words. I will verbally start and stumble while trying to find the word or concepts I'm trying to express.
A final thought... I work with adolecsents. There is a trend in the kids I work with to start every sentence with "like", "er", "so" etc. IMO it's a generational thing.
