My point exactly, Tar-Alcarin.

There are plenty of other races that Gothmog could have belonged to. Just because the majority of the Orcs who followed Sauron were mindless killing machines, doesn't mean ALL of them were. There must have been a couple of shrewd ones in the mix who managed to claw (literally!) their way to the top of the "food chain." Gothmog could have been one of those Orcs. He could have also been a Black Numenorean, who fell in with Sauron, as the Mouth did. There are plenty of possibilities.
