This does fascinate me. Can you point me in the right direction to learn more about the Aurelius education on that? These tangents in history fascinate me.
That said, How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnige goes into this a bit with his story about a guy who misquote the Bible. Essentially let people save face, and generally invite them to show you where you can learn more about what they are saying so that you can both be educated properly. This allows them to feel bigger about themselves for teaching you & also a soft invitation for when they make a mistake.

Marcus Aurelius Meditations. In Book One he tells us what he learned from the important people in his life, one being Alexander the Grammarian.
Thank you. Sounds like a good set of books.
