The point is not that the allegory of the cave is correct. I think most intellectuals, in our postmodern era, would disagree with Plato - there is no sun or objective knowledge, and we are limited in our ability to perceive the world directly - and we can just as much derive knowledge from the image of the horse as we can from the horse itself. But just because it is wrong does not mean it is not relevant or interesting.
