Falsifiability is a poor measure. The Judge in Dover also ruled that a null set is not a member of the set of sets, and further that to teach otherwise is to impose a particular religion on impressionable children.

Admin moderator: please note my comments about posting categories which I intend to follow with soon.

An article by an authority in his field deserves a ranking better than the chit-chat which posting category "Bloggers" is. In recent days we have related postings in the high-visibility category of "News" which are of less authoritative than Professor Alschuler's. Including in those pure blog-style editorials such as Rush Limbaugh's today (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1547178/posts) or John Timmer's screed in Ars Technica posted on the 24th by Patrick Henry (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1546620/posts).

Freeper found_one's posting of Professor Alschuler's Part I received only 8 views, whereas Limbaugh's editorial has got 83 and Timmer's screed gained a mighty 722 views. All that difference in viewing is I figure due to the backwater category forced upon posts linked to the Chicago Law School Blog.

Is there some way to evolve our posting system design intelligently, so as to allow blogs done by recoginized experts in their field are equivalent in rank to MSM and trade journal sources? We appreaciate your help with this -- thanks!
