Even partial credit seems enough to question the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius's philosophy.
He raised Commodus, and co-ruled with him for a time.
- He was was either unaware of his son's (lack) of fitness or
- He was aware but unwilling to take corrective action or
- He was aware but unable to take corrective action
