It's really generous of you to accept "Lama" for the Dalai Lama, but just so you know, that's just the least-exotic part of a two-word title. It's sorta like looking for the answer "President Rutherford B. Hayes" and accepting "president".
I have my own, picture based version of this quiz if anyone wants to give it a try: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/156455/famous-bald-people. I did not know this was already a featured quiz.
Don't let Midgely Jr. off the hook so easily. Lead was known to be dangerous for centuries and Midgely was aware of the danger of exposure to TEL. He gave himself lead poisoning in his demonstration designed to fool people into thinking it wasn't dangerous! He underestimated how much exposure people would ultimately have, but he certainly couldn't claim to have thought it wasn't dangerous. He just thought that no one would be exposed to enough of it for it to matter... or at least, for anyone to be able to trace the harm back to TEL.
Don't let Ehrlich off the hook either! He had globally foolish ideas that grew into globally fatal problems. Like Midgely, he doubled down on the disastrous Population Bomb ideals when he ventured into the Bet with Julian Simon. Imagine the level of ego and stupidity it must take to be utterly wrong in two arenas! And I am sure that he carried those idiotic ideas to his grave.

Unfortunately, Ehrlich is up there with Thomas Midgley Jr. as people who were just trying to help but ended up doing untold damage.
Rarely has a prediction ever been as wrong, and had such disastrous consequences as Ehrlich's.
