Just an observation: I've mostly ignored this discussion, but it appears to have generated a lot of meaningful debate about the very fundamental epistemic issues at play (though a lot of unproductive debate as well). No consensus on which position is idiotic has apparently arisen.
With that in mind, surely this article should be rated above 1? Are the upvotes being canceled by downvotes, or are people just not voting it either way? Why isn't this rated higher?
I, for one, rate articles by the article text alone, not by the discussions generated in their comment threads.
Okay. That's good -- I agree with that standard. So is the consensus that, however productive the debate might be that is going on in the comments, the article that prompted them wasn't very good? If so, the rating seems reasonable. (I felt the same way about the top-level article that was basically just the question, "What are you doing, and why are you doing it?")
