The Problem With Socrates's Theory of Justice

The reason why Alcibiades thinks that he knows about justice has nothing to do with the validity of his past definition. But when Socrates says your definition didn't work, therefore, you don't know, and he agrees with that,. And in some sense, he's saying, I do know fundamentally, and so I'll figure out a way to say it to you. So there is such a thing as kind of like recouping or something, regrouping, let's say, right?
