the Rambam fights back

In his introduction to perek chelek Maimonides wrote the following:

The second group is also numerous, and they are those who saw the words of the sages or heard them and understood them in their explicit meaning and thought that the sages meant naught but what they explicitly stated. They come to mock them and to scorn them and they slander that which deserves no slander; they laugh at the words of the sages, whose minds were more pure. And they, the small minded boors, mock reality, and so attain no wisdom in any form.
Most who fail at this trip on the medical wisdom and the errors in calculating astronomy, because they think themselves wise, smart, and sharp, philosophers, but how far they are from those who are truly wise and philosophers. But they mock more than the first group, and are more pathetic.
It is a cursed group, for they respond to people who are greater and more lofty than they, whose wisdom has been proven, while these fools, had they worked at wisdom until they knew what it is appropriate to commit to writing as Divine wisdom, would have said things similar to those the sages said, and they would understand the practical part of philosophy; then they would know whether the sages OBM were wise, and the truth of their words would be clarified.

Do you guys not think that by this he also meant people like those of your fat cow?
