Well I have a weakness for Cicero, who, though not half bad by Roman standards, is hardly a revolutionary either, so I can't really talk. >.>; I hardly meant to suggest that listening to writers on subjects they know nothing about is a good thing. I was just being perhaps a bit pessimistic and noting that beyond the present fact that our society tends to put writers on a pedestal, people are probably more likely to listen to someone who is eloquent than someone who has excellent ideas but no flair for expressing them.
