Why do people call people dunce?

"Dunce" means a stupid person. It derives from the name of the medieval philosopher and theologian John Duns Scotus. Duns Scotus had points of disagreement with St. Thomas Aquinas, who was the golden boy of Catholic theology at the time (that's why he got to be a saint). Since the popular take was that Aquinas was right about everything, Duns Scotus or anyone who agreed with him had to be wrong, and therefore they were stupid. Eventually all people could remember about "dunses" was that they were stupid, but nobody could remember why.
