Summary

This quote suggests that simply stirring up strong emotions or creating controversy is not enough to thoroughly examine or understand a subject. Merely provoking or agitating others without delving into the complexities and nuances of a topic is insufficient. To have a comprehensive understanding, one should engage in a detailed and thoughtful analysis, considering various perspectives and factors involved. Merely seeking to incite emotions or disruptions does not allow for a nuanced exploration and evaluation of a subject.
