Is the biggest cope. And it's especially ironic considering the default response to criticism by POMOs is to claim no one has understood them (while writing as obscurely as possible to avoid the having to engage).

Also, Plato has plenty of wit. He doesn't need to stoop to "cut jokes." The Phaedrus's opening terrible speech is funny, the Symposium has lots of moments. But he isn't into le ebin power dynamics either because he has the Logos.
