There is a story that illustrates this. There was a jester for King James VI of Scotland who noticed that the king often signed documents without reading them. He slipped in a paper among the king's documents to be signed that abdicated royal authority to the jester for two weeks. After the king had signed it, the jester pointed out what the king had done. The king seems to have regarded this as a learning experience, and the point was taken.
