Plato had Socrates point this out in the Phaedrus as part of his reasoning as to why he doesn't write down all of his profound thoughts. Plato was big on irony in case it wasn't obvious. (Same goes with that whole "fascist" thing in the Republic ((remember Socrates didn't fit the ideal mold he was describing, it was a metaphor...))
