I don't know where I heard this, but I'd like to know what you think.
Once there was an elder statesman who was respected by everyone and won great debates. He was able to debate about any topic with even the strangest of strangers and assuredly his opinion would prevail. One day the ruler of the country wanted to pronounce him the smartest man in the world and he obliged. Although everybody has met their match with him in debates, one courtier stood up in the court and opposed. He said, "People of this court he is not smarter than you or I." and to prove it he asked the elder statesman where his own son is right now. The elder statesman scoffed, "My son is in school right now of course." The courtier signaled the officers at the door to bring in the elder statesman's son who was in hadcuffs and announced he was charged with murder. The elder statesman burst into rage while the son pleaded innocent.
This is an incomplete story from my memory, but what do you think.

No matter how great a person's reputation for wisdom might be, there are always areas where he/she is ignorant.
