Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel and the Rabbis of his generation were disputed over the issue of whether the person who is ‘Sinai’ (i.e. a scholar of encyclopedic knowledge) is superior, or the ‘uprooter of mountains’ (i.e. a brilliant dialectician) is superior. In the end, most agreed that the person who is ‘Sinai’ is more preferable, because all of us are dependent upon the teachings as a start. – Babylonian Talmud, Horayoth 14a פליגו בה רבן שמעון בן גמליאל ורבנן חד אמר סיני עדיף וחד אמר עוקר הרים עדיף
