A less click-baity but more accurate title might be, "How the Medieval Age's Unquestioning Acceptance of Aristotelian Natural Philosophy Set Science Back 1000 Years."

Aristotle's ethical contributions are valued today and no one feels he "set ethics back." The fault lies less with Aristotle and what he got wrong than with those who promulgated and expanded his errors, don't you think? Or is every teacher responsible for what their students do with their teaching?
