re: #775 Slumbering Behemoth
I thoroughly agree with your point here, but I think the argument, if used Socratically, might actually work to a certain degree.
I think it is an argument with a powerful emotional appeal. Appeals to emotion can be very persuasive.
I may have things a little off but I think it might be an argument more to the liking of Aristophanes then it would be to Socrates.
