** ComicBook/{{Shuri}} from ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' continues this tradition. She builds devices that can force engines to stall, bullet-proof armor that compacts into a small tribal necklace, magnetic suspension trains, communicators that work across the entire planet without any latency, shoes that completely negate all sound, and repairs Ross's spine while she's at it. In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', she also criticizes Bruce's and Tony's work on Vision, pointing out how the Mind Stone could've been connected more efficiently. (Note also that Shuri is still a teenager, meaning she mastered all these disciplines in substantially less time than any of the other MCU geniuses.)

Counterpoints on Aristotle


* Creator/{{Aristotle}} knew everything there was to know in his time. He proved the Earth was round, catalogued every known animal (along the way, he was the first to differentiate whales from fish), advanced all natural sciences, organized legal knowledge, and made art commentaries that are still quoted in colleges (particularly his problems with "Deus Machina" endings), and the list goes on... He wrote the book on every discipline of his time and made new advancements in almost every one of them.

He wrote the book on every discipline of his time and made new advancements in almost every one of them. On the other hand, he also thought that women had fewer teeth than men (apparently he never thought to get some folks to open their mouths to him so he could, you know, ''count''), and that they were also "immature," "deficient," "deformed" and even a bit "monstrous"; believed that slavery was A-OK because some people just deserved to be enslaved; that eels didn't reproduce, but were spontaneously generated from mud[[note]]Eels only develop gonads during their long migratory journey to their spawning grounds, and live most of their lives without them, so when he cut them open he didn't find sex organs and thus, this belief[[/note]]; and that the Earth was the centre of the universe. Most of these were taken as being absolute truth well past the point where it was possible to conclusively disprove them, and some are still held today, albeit by the sort of folks that most people view as kooky weirdos.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny'': Downplayed in the prologue. Dr. Voller tells a Nazi officer his brief glimpse of the metalwork on the UsefulNotes/HolyLance in their possession leads him to suspect it's a [[FakinMacGuffin modern forgery]], while admitting that his field of expertise is physics. This is intercut with the titular archaeologist finding it and reaching the same conclusion.
