    Well I was very wrong about John Duns Scotus based on the tiny amount of information I was given in the dictionary. He seems to have been actually incredibly smart and was interested in things like metaphysics, theology, logic, epistemology, ethics, and more!

    It's very strange that his name became associated with "dunce".
