My thought is also that Socrates was correct when he said:
"He who thinks, then, that he has left behind him any art in writing, and he who receives it in the belief that anything in writing will be clear and certain, would be an utterly simple person, and in truth ignorant ... if he thinks written words are of any use except to remind him who knows the matter about which they are written."
(Phaedrus 275)
But would you consider my interpretion correct if I were to say that Socrates believed every interpretation of written works is accurate?

"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains (no matter how improbable) must be the truth."
