Athena: I wish to know how to use your tool to build a wheel Socrates: Ah, yes, my tool can be used to build a wheel. Let me tell you how it can make an aquaduct! Athena: I only want to know how to build a wheel. Perhaps you can give me some insight into the workings of your tool so I can learn how to build the wheel myself? Socrates: Did I mention the many virtues of aquaducts? They run for miles, and there are many different kinds.
