I didn't really get that sense when I browsed it -- the page I stumbled
across was an invitation to anonymously rate and remark about politicians --
the thinking, I guess, is that people would be more honest if they weren't
John Hancocking, so to speak. There are lots of logistic flaws in that,
although some is no doubt just a psychological attitude -- something like
the recent study that demonstrated that people will behave on information
they have learned through gossip even when that gossip counters their
individual experience. Kinda scary.
