Socrates wasn't wrong. Reading a lot gives you a partial understanding but it isn't complete without experiencing the thing for yourself. Arguably the Internet is the natural home of authoritatively stated but uninformed opinions - the exact result of reading a lot about a subject without having any experience of it.
