> Are we expected to just believe that computer simulations built by credentialed scientists prove things about the real world? We could model it... 1) each node is an imaginary scientist with a random set of in and outgoing citations, they can only read and cite a finite number of randomized publications, the publications are assumed to vary randomly in quality... 2) ????? 3) Conclusion: As the number of publications in the network rises, the quality of those which propagate falls.
