  3. Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics, 1 1094a24-1095a

    “It is right that we ask to accept each of the things which are said in the same way: for it is the mark of an educated person to search for the same kind of clarity in each topic to the extent that the nature of the matter accepts it. For it is similar to expect a mathematician to speak persuasively or for an orator to furnish clear proofs!

    Each person judges well what they know and is thus a good critic of those things. For each thing in specific, someone must be educated; to be a critic, one must be educated about everything."
