From Open Socrates, Agnes Callard:

“My own approach to Socrates might be described as “hard-line intellectualist”-I think that Socrates is just what he seems to be, namely someone who believes that we don’t know, that if we knew we would act on our knowledge, and that philosophythe pursuit of such knowledge-is the only sure road to becoming a better person. Why is this collection of views so implausible?

If you posed this question to the many scholars who try to save Socrates from his own intellectualism, they would say “because it is obvious that someone could have knowledge-such as the knowledge that it is wrong to steal, or kill-but be unwilling to act on it.”

Socrates' response is: What makes you think that was knowledge?

The real source of the opposition to Socratic intellectualism is not the commonsense observation that people often act in ways they are ready to repudiate, but the insistence that what we sometimes act against deserves to be called “knowledge.””
