When he brought them there, people were looking at the billy goat and saying: “Oh my God!

For example, when an animal is pursued but escapes, they say about it: it got ahead (of its pursuers). The same can be said about a person when he receives a diploma with distinction. And it can also be said about a person who diverges from the common opinion and says: “It’s not like this; it’s like that.” One may say of him: “Such and such has diverged from us (in his views)”’ (CSOL III 13:24)
