Since we've been on the subject of validation systems, I think the way 
he expresses the idea of "Olympics-type grading systems that eliminate 
the highs and lows" sounds pretty good. Not that I find Olympic judging 
to be the standard we should aspire to, mind you, as the South Koreans 
and Canadians can tell us. But the principle of weeding out the highest 
and lowest percentiles of an article's ratings would help restrict the 
tactics of self-promoters and POV warriors if we do get such a system going.
