Ok so here is the deal. I get a great person science, arts whatever and I'll sometimes save them to use them for a Golden Age. But I have had a situation where I had 4 great scientists, that I fortified to wait till I had enough to trigger a GA...when I finally have enough the golden age button is greyed out. I mouse over it and it says need 3 more to trigger golden age. In the city I can see 3-4 more so I have enough to run a GA but it wont give me an option. I should have screened it but I didnt. Why is this happening?
Great People...Im so confused.

You need different kinds of 
to run a GA, like a GS and a GP, you can't use a bunch of GSs, which you should be building academies with and settling instead of wasting them on GAs, unless you're in a war, and you're losing, I guess.

yes acadamies are much much better, and last the whole game.
Depends.
late in the game, the extra beakers from the academy cannot catch up with the beakers from sending him to science gulag (lightbulb him).
Early in the game, the are far more useful, true.
In the midgame, you need to decide if you WANT that tech NOW (under attack and can lightbulb machinery for crossbows), or have a perma-boost.
