You basically repeat that ‘reading the old philosophers is important’ about three times, but give no reason for why that would be important and what exactly you would learn from that.

That they teach it at Eton is not a reason. At most a suggestion there could be a good reason for it.

To realize that ‘they were wise’ is not a reason. Why is that important to realize?

That there are ‘vast amounts of wisdom to be gleaned’ is a restatement, not an argument.

So whatever reading the old philosophers taught you, certainly not argumentation skills.
