Summary

This quote suggests that in certain situations, doctors who may lack knowledge, caution, and careful thinking tend to be highly esteemed and valued by influential individuals, particularly rulers. This could imply a potential irony or criticism towards how society recognizes or acknowledges expertise, as those with less wisdom and judgment may be perceived as more esteemed simply due to their affiliation with power and authority. It highlights the possibility that competence and merit may sometimes be overshadowed by superficial factors when it comes to recognizing individuals' reputations.
