The very people who complain about having their research being ignored in prestigious venues would probably not do well with a PageRank-like measure.

Presumably they'd do better than with the JIF system. Orthodoxy isn't the problem. He's still getting published & cited. He just can't get grants apparently because of his 1989 conference.

regardless of whether it is the right thing to do, what he is trying to do could be improved by being more like pagerank. i don't have an opinion on whether it is the right thing to do; i haven't given that much thought.
