If he argues with a Pesi, who veers from the laws of Chachmah because he does not understand them, he smiles at him until he makes him understand them. If he argues with an Evvil, on the one hand he is angry, for even though he makes the Evvil understand the laws of Chachmah, the Evvil does not accept them, for he casts doubt in them. On the other hand the Chacham smiles, for the Evvil does not transgress b'Mezid, only because he is unsure, and he cannot resolve his doubts, for there are no proofs of Da'as for the laws of Chachmah.
