The Devs really should be using two different keywords instead of "free", since "free" has two contradictory meanings as it is now.
Completely free Great People should be listed as "free".
Great People who appear but increase their respective Great People point cost should be listed as "instant."

The GWAMs are all on separate counters. Only Great Scientists, Great Engineers and Great Merchants are on a common counter.
In G&K, Great Artists were on the same counter with GSs, GEs and GMs. Changed in BNW, when the expanded list of GWAMs was introduced and the one-guild-per-civ limit was imposed.
The Maya has one of the best UB in the game. Twice the faith AND +2 science!
Yeah, I made a suggestion about making this a part of science victory a while ago. Great Scientists, Great Engineers and Great Merchants could all make "great theories" (in Science, Engineering and Economics respectively) and then you could collect these in your libraries and universities. But I guess that's a subject for a different discussion.I wonder if a similar system could be imposed to limit scientists. You have one building with science specialists (National College?) and the scientists that are spawned can be bulbed or employed at the current specialist buildings. Maybe they could come up with a "Great Advancement" like pasteurization or whatever. Artifacts could be used instead because scientists love that stuff.
There'd have to be strict era limits because coming up with stuff related to very late technologies early in the game would be kinda dumb. Plus earlier stuff typically doesn't have people that can be directly attributed to its creation. Yeah this idea doesn't really work
