So now your karma depends significantly on how well you can find a Yudkowskian citation for whatever you're arguing.

As far as I understand, PageRank rewards the target of the link, not the origin. So this would reward oft-cited articles.

If that was what he was saying, consider my last comment retracted. (Except for the very last sentence.)
