Sure Daryl, though said embarrassment must be in proportion to that expressed by the New York Times, Washington Post, and NBC News for having to retract their false stories about Giuliani. Mistakes are never made in publishing internet content.
BTW, if JC Jones is alleging a process known as Winsorization, it is commonly done in analyzing data. I know other rankings that do the same thing. One I was a part of would summarily exclude the polarized ratings of a few popular, "passionate" raters who used the entire range of the scale (0-10) to punish courses they disliked and elevate those they favored.
I am curious, however, about what has happened to JC Jones. That exercise took great amount of effort. Seems like it would take an awfully big ax to grind to motivate the expenditure.
