Not only did it guess wrong three times for Benjamin Disraeli before it gave up, offering Oscar Wilde, Robert Browning and Lord Dunsany even though it had been told he was a 19th century British Prime Minister of Jewish origins, it had the nerve to claim it had been pretty close. It seems its early question whether he was a writer confused it permanently. Ha!

Also I didn't know whether Kant had ever killed anyone. And I said he was "ugly and nasty," though really I was just thinking of his prose.

I beat it just now by using a minor character from a TV show, although its guess was surprisingly close (a related character from the same TV show).
