Such a student has a firm grasp of the necessary knowledge required to solve their problem. So it is with a well-educated individual who must face many of life's decisions. A person who has been well educated and understands the required social and moral concepts will undoubtedly reach the correct conclusion and so will choose to act in the socially positive manner. Their understanding will inevitably guide them towards what is socially correct. The mathematical analogy can also be extended to encompass and illustrate the goals of legal doctrines as well.
