Leaving the cave is such bullshit. You can't possibly know if you left it or not

The entire allegory of the cave was Plato arguing why his work is important.

Protip: if you have to argue in order to make others see the importance of your work, it's probably not half as important as you think it is.

What was important in his work was probably just the allegory of the cave. But it's important only if you're unable to make such a realization yourself. In other words, it's not particularly important. Not to mention that such knowledge is not very valuable and certainly isn't useful.
