Theres been a rush on the vagueness
experiment in the last few hours, from where I have no idea. Anyway, as best I
can tell from looking through the counters (and taking into account comments
like Ehuds that they hit some of the counter pages
because they were just looking around) the score is now Consistency 53 – Contextualism
12. Im going to be away from the computer for a few hours – at this rate the
over/under for the combined score when I get back is about 100.
UPDATE: It turns out that the flood of
responses to the vagueness experiment are because of this rather kind link
by Matthew Yglesias, who runs one
of the best combined academic/political blogs around. Go read it, and if you
agree you can even vote
for him in Dwight Merediths Koufax
Awards. The Koufax
Awards are for the best lefty blogs around, and are allegedly named after the
best lefty pitcher ever. Though in that case why they arent named the Grove awards
is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps its because if the award were really for best
lefty pitcher theyd have to change their name to the Johnson
awards sometime between when Randy starts next years All-Star game and when he
wins next years Cy Young
award. Oh, in the experiment the score is now 71-18, so everyone who took the under on the bet I mentioned above wins.
