Was Aristotle right about anything?

[jayem]

I'm not familiar with his works, but it's quite possible his proposed mechanisms, while fundamentally flawed, led to accurate predictions in day-to-day life. If so, then those answers were valuable.

Actually, who has read any of his works?

And what I am struggling to find, does anyone have a good link to any medieval usages of him.

The tooth quote above (and later on you have the bit on wisdom teeth), doesn't read like just writing stuff down (you have the use of 'observation' and more intriguingly he admits his ignorance of other animals). On the other hand he is clearly in error.
