Plato: What brings you here today, Socrates?
Socrates: I have several questions upon which I have been thinking much, and hope to engage some of our acquaintances on conversation thereon.
Plato: Are they aware that these will be the topics of discussion?
Socrates: Indeed not. As usual, they will have to argue whatever position they take at a disadvantage, and my questions will likely force them to concede ignorance or leave them looking foolish.
Plato: Let me get my stylus.
