Have we seen any results (or even progress) come from the SIAI Challenge Grants, which included a Comprehensive Singularity FAQ and many academic papers dealing directly with the topics of concern? These should hopefully be less easy to ridicule and provide an authoritative foundation after the peer review process.

Edit: And if they fail to come to fruition, then we have some strong evidence to doubt SIAI's effectiveness.
