@Frelkins,

well, actually I did read Cicero in school, and I like Socrates' attitude; but I don't quite see in what way you are responding to my post?

I just wanted to clarify that the skill of oratory may be a valuable asset for people, but being a good orator does not make you a good truth-seeker.
