One of the joys of the classics is that they are often different in context from pop culture's appropriations.
The dual subtext, of reason and honesty, is the rhetorical point of the particular example; as the claims are neither rational nor honest and include several blatant lies accusing both you and myself of saying things that were never said and are not in the transcript.
