I think Socrates was indeed very wise. Only a wise man knows that true wisdom can only be found in knowing that you do not have all the answers, nor do you want them. : )

Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom
Wisdom encompasses the knowledge of right and wrong.
Knowledge alone states that there is no right or wrong
Wisdom is wiser, adding the element of benefit and moral compass of good
