We Won't Get Fooled Again

What does Frost Mean when he says that people who haven't been educated by poetry "don’t know when they are being fooled by a metaphor, an analogy, a parable"?

Context determines meaning, and the General's "context" is by no means the same as Roland Hedley's (the reporter) or ours.
