I wouldn't categorize it as hung up, I'm curious about an explanation from someone who holds the statement dearly. How can you claim to be knowledgable about something and at the same time discredit knowledge? Wouldn't that make your point moot?
If you don't find the quote illogical or egomaniacal (on Plato's part) and are uninterested in the topic, fine, then this dialogue will have to struggle along without you.
Is our moderator claiming that, like Plato, only his knowledge is worthwhile? (this is meant as a joke) Maybe Plato and Socrates had a bit of a war of words going on between themselves, like the relationship between Lennon and McCartney became.
