Why is Socrates' claim to be deliberately corrupting the young people of Athens absurd
Because the power of one man is too small, Socrates does not believe that one man can corrupt a young man

Or is it wholly opposite to this, that one certain one is able to make them better—or very few, those skilled with horses—while the many, if they ever associate with horses and use them, corrupt them? Is this not so, Meletus, both concerning horses, and all the other animals?(25b)
