Ok so the Oracle tells Socrates that he is the wisest of men, as he knows that he knows nothing.
Yet in all of the Dialogues people speak to Socrates and they seem to get Socrates right where they want him, that is to say they have Socrates seeming to contradict himself, or seeming to advocate for something that seems self-evidently wrong.
But then Socrates always goes and shows the people talking to him that the things they think they know to be true are actually not. Thus showing that the person Socrates is discoursing with is in fact less wise than socrates
