Wolf: The definition of a Talmid Chochom isn’t a matter of opinion on which you can disagree. It has a defined definition. The Gemorah enumerates the attributes of a Talmid Chochom. These include not being the last to enter the Beis HaMedrash, not talking to a woman in the street, etc. Also, the principles of which a Talmid Chochom must live, is stated in ???? ??? ??? ????. The opening sentence says a Talmid Chochom is modest, humble, endures justice, avoids wrongdoing, etc. So in fact a Talmid Chochom by definition is a Tzadik, and not merely someone who is “learned”, otherwise he isn’t a Talmid Chochom.
