Re: JSH: Issue is real

I live in a reality where people are dedicated in claiming none of my

people can attack Google search results as well.

However, rational criticism of Google search results does not settle the
issue or give an answer.

So I asked a question in a previous thread: but does it work?

Seemed simple enough to me.

Consider, imagine you do amateur mathematical research, and math people
go out of their way to say your research is useless.

Ok.

But then you do Google searches and that SAME research dominates search
results.

Math people THEN say that Google search results are meaningless.

Anyone else see a problem here?

As far as I know the issue is dealt with here:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.math.undergrad/browse_thread/
thread/140b12e35de197f0/2b7196afb3176eb4

Basically the conclusion was (and James seems to agree) that the
algorithm works but it was not as efficient as existing algorithms. This
would explain why any traffic to the MyMath site has not translated to
anyone actually using the algorithm.

That discussion was from November last year; have I missed anything in
the meantime?

P.S. Tim's original post in the thread referred to above is exactly the
sort of post that brings me back here: well written and informative
without being too dry or confrontational. Good for him!
