This indicates that the ability to ask the ideal concerns is more vital than having the right responses. It suggests that the smart male is not somebody who has all the answers, but somebody who understands how to ask the best concerns. This is since the right questions can result in the right answers. Asking the right concerns can help to reveal the reality and can lead to a better understanding of a circumstance. It can also assist to determine the source of a problem and can cause more efficient solutions. This quote encourages us to believe seriously and to ask concerns in order to get a much better understanding of the world around us.
