When Socrates' interlocutor is left dumbfounded, or reduced to absurdity, Socrates rests his case. |Just as ACB did recently in whatone could only describe as kind of Soviet show trial.
One might argue that through his questioning, Socrates reveals not that his opponents lack knowledge because their beliefs are false, but he demonstrates that his opponents are not justified in holding the views they profess to know. Since the politicians questioning a latter day Socrates (ACB) all fail in theri interrogations, one might argue, to have claimed to have knowledge as Democrat Politicians did, when their faux beliefs were not even justified.
