Yes, you blame it on Plato, a popularizer who stripped a voice of its
nuance, as popularizers so often do (viz. St. Paul, etc etc).

There's a reason Socrates didn't write things down. A Luddite of sorts, he
distrusted the defleshing influence of writing, and he was right. The
daemon has no ability to pass through the grid of language, and Socrates
stripped of his daemon is only self-deluded.
