But he is correct,
EVERYONE is a philosopher. Its a part of human nature. Not everyone is an interesting philosopher, and not everyone is good at articulation of their ideas. Perhaps the great philosophers were not so much great philosophers but good writers and teachers. Being able to explain yourself logically, and in such a way that doesn't bore people to tears is not a common trait.
