I meam Aristotle is a strong candidate for "greatest achiever of all time", being a true polymath who arguably contributed to or invented every school of intellectual thought in existence at the time his contributions were valued for centuries. But in between the seminal stuff on logic and ethics, his writings on the metabolism were a right load of old nonsense. And I bet his HN account would be an absolute riot!
Indeed. Due to their deep understanding of a wide range of subjects, some HN commenters amassed such an extraordinary amount of likes that puts Bach to shame.

Most written books are just people talking out of their ass as well, history is full of people publishing bullshit.
