Unless it was the case that Aristotle could provide exceptionless definitions to defend his philsophy, which I don't think anyone would say is the case, then Socrates would not consider him wise, for he wouldn't have knowledge but would suppose himself to which is something Socrates isn't wild about.

It is helpful to remember that Socrates always retreated to the veil of doubt and ignorance when he'd quiz people in dialogue. This is always a pretty safe hiding place from which to snipe. The real question is would Socrates have considered anyone wise?
