To discuss how a paper is wrong you have to first cite the paper. The need to discuss bad papers can arise for a number of reasons. So some papers cite rank != quality.

True. Pagerank is "importance" rather than "quality". But as your network of recommenders becomes larger and starts to approximate the scientific community as a whole, I'd imagine that there will be convergence. If not, that would be a welcome and (to me) surprising result.
