When a wise man says a foolish thing, it is worth while to correct him, lest other people think it a wise thing because of his reputation; also because the wise man himself may reflect and avoid repeating the error. When a fool says a foolish thing, it is generally best to let it go, because he will never learn, and anyone who takes advice from the fool gets what he has coming to him.
Er, not all fools will thank you for that one--
