You are yourself a source from my perspective - but for me to give credence to what you say requires me to decide whether you are a credible one. Saying something is "manifestly obvious" to you makes no difference - I already assume you believe what you say - but no-one else has any reason to unless you can back up what you assert in some other way than saying "I'm the only one with any intelligence/integrity, so there!" — Jack Douglas 1 min ago

Fair?

@Jon any reason why we can't let it run a few months?

@JackDouglas he's contradicting himself

@JackDouglas No particular reason. (We instigated it.)

Jack Douglas

@JonEricson ok, well I'd like to plead for a bit more time at least :)

@swasheck in what way?

swasheck

@JackDouglas he relies on a theory that was not generated by himself, yet he claims to do no such thing

Jack Douglas

@swasheck the Documentary Hypothesis? I think he would claim to have arrived at it independently :)

swasheck

@JackDouglas we'll just have to see :)

@JackDouglas I went ahead and removed featured and the deadline. We can bring it up again in a few more weeks.

Jack Douglas

@JonEricson thanks!

I'd also like to do another edition of the poll in a few more months.

The votes so far line up with my impressions.

@JackDouglas That's a good way of putting things, by the way.

@JonEricson Next time I'd try not posting your impressions until other people have made a stab at it. By all means weigh in, but get some poll data first.

@Caleb Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of. :-(

I copied Shog's version a bit too much, I think.
