Summary

This quote highlights the importance of consistency in certain contexts, such as trains that need reliability and punctuality. However, when it comes to philosophers, their value lies in the insights they provide, regardless of whether these ideas are consistently developed or not. The quote suggests that philosophical thinkers can still offer valuable perspectives and discoveries, even if their thoughts are not always presented in a systematic or consistent manner. Ultimately, the focus should be on the quality of their insights rather than the consistency of their approach.
