We give observations about dualities where one of the dual theories is geometric. These are illustrated with a duality between the simple harmonic oscillator and a topological field theory. We then discuss the Wilson loop in the context of the AdS/CFT duality. We show that the Wilson loop calculation for certain asymptotically AdS scalar field spacetimes with naked singularities gives results qualitatively similar to that for the AdS black hole. In particular, it is apparent that (dimensional) metric parameters in the singular spacetimes permit a ``thermal screening'' interpretation for the quark potential in the boundary theory, just like black hole mass. This suggests that the Wilson loop calculation merely captures metric parameter information rather than true horizon information.
