Lol whenever you can so casually say that a great scientist is wrong, that might be a good heuristic to know you misunderstood the question. It's a philosophical paradox stemming from our conception of species, not an empirical question about fossil records :)
Almost started discussing this with you. :D
True in the abstract, but calling Aristotle a "great scientist" is a stretch at best. He wasn't much of an empiricist.
