What is...not understanding the limitations of the Socratic method, clearly outlined at the bottom of the link?

Everything that we know can be broken down into "basic" atoms which cannot be broken down further, but are so tiny the can be learned quickly, or things built up bit by bit, which can be explained given enough time. Even things like "capital cities and states" can be taught by asking how things get named and who names them and who would name something the way they did, giving a bit of historical background etc.
