Matt,
Understanding does not necessarily mean agreeing with or accepting
verbatim. Neither does genius imply infallibility:
Aristotle was a genius, but his idea that the brain's function was
to cool the blood is wrong.
Yes, Aristotle was a genius. Just so happens the human head radiates
a huge amount of heat from the human body. About 30% radiation of
total body heat in adults and around 50% in enfants.
DaVinci was a genius, but his muscle-powered flying machines couldn't fly.
Yes, DaVinci was a genius. Human powered flying machines rely only
on human muscle power. The Gossamer Albatross was a human-powered
aircraft built by Dr Paul B. MacCready. On June 12, 1979 it completed
a successful crossing of the English Channel to win the second Kremer prize.
Newton was a genius, but his devotion to alchemy was misguided.
Yes, Newton was a genius. Modern accelerators commonly and almost
effortlessly produce new and different elements and isotopes every day.
Tesla was a genius, but his beliefs about the Aether were wrong.
Yes, Tesla was a genius. Do you really expect us to trust your false
examples and faulty logic?
