Sheer genious. I have written software to randomly generate web sites – as an amusing experiment. I have proven that if tweaked toward a topic – the sites are diffucult to prove that they are made up. Of course they do contriute to the data pollution which is the vast majority of the internet :(

So, if one pulls suspicious phrases from the paper and googles them, will they lead you to a slashdot post or the like? Where DID they get the phrases that they put in?

This is way better than the insight a member of my Senior Marketing project team had. She had it on good authority that the prof did most of her project grading with a ruler. We gathered lots of charts and clippings and survey data, then I spent a Sunday weaving some appropriate prose around the whole mess. It measured almost 40mm thick, and we got an A for our insightful analysis of the Oregon Wine industry’s marketing. We also did pleny of sampling.
