Once you taste it, you are no longer in any doubt about its flavour and you do not have to ask anyone else. The problem is solved.

Hence both women and children must be educated with an eye to the constitution, if indeed it makes any difference to the virtue of a city-state that its children be virtuous, and its women too.
