Result

Of course what matters is the result and how the "population" considers it. Socrates did not do trolling, but maieutics, because in the end the questioned person usually felt enlightened and because he made people reach the truth e.g. mathematical theorems. Of course those who condemned him to death considered him a troll. --Nemo 08:26, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
