Meaning
Opposition by itself does not prove leadership. The line reads as a warning against confusing noise, conflict, or resistance with real authority, which is built through judgment and results, not merely through having critics. It lands in moments when disagreement is easy to romanticize, or when a person treats being challenged as proof that they are doing something right.
