Personally, my own usage would be contextual; in my mind, qoH ghaH
is much more strongly derogatory.  Dogh, to me, implies that, right
now, at present, he's acting foolish, whereas qoH ghaH says something
fundamental about his nature.  It implies:  he is a fool, he's
always been a fool, he'll always be a fool.  But this is just my
take, not proven fact.
