전도서 10:1의 Quotation

זְב֣וּבֵי מָ֔וֶת יַבְאִ֥ישׁ יַבִּ֖יעַ שֶׁ֣מֶן רוֹקֵ֑חַ יָקָ֛ר מֵחָכְמָ֥ה מִכָּב֖וֹד סִכְל֥וּת מְעָֽט׃

죽은 파리가 향기름으로 악취가 나게 하는 것 같이 적은 우매가 지혜와 존귀로 패하게 하느니라

Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler

Especially in the case of something that is of pure and consistent quality, a slight defect can contaminate the whole. However, an unexpected, foreign element may also provide an advantage. The notion of “brainstorming” endorses the idea that silly ideas may be the most valuable. Thinking of a silly example may expose a deeper underlying view. Einstein’s innovation that light travels at the same speed independent of the frame of reference appeared silly at first, as did Cantor’s idea that there are mathematical infinities of different sizes. Being able to look ridiculous may be necessary to demonstrate a deeply important truth. Compare King David dancing, and the critique of his wife Michal, daughter of Saul.
