Summary

This quote suggests that popular opinions about abstract or intangible subjects are typically partially true, but rarely capture the entire truth. It implies that societal consensus on matters that cannot be directly observed or sensed may overlook important nuances or complexities. Hence, while popular opinions can serve as a starting point, they may not provide a comprehensive understanding and may require further exploration or critical examination to uncover the complete truth.
