Warnock's dilemma

Notes from the biomass: Warnock’s dilemma is a blog post on the discussion about lack of comments on scientific papers that are opened up for reader feedback online. Mr Warnock has a Wikipedia entry (which can be found via the Notes from the Biomass link) explaining why he thinks lack of comments does not (necessarily) indicate lack of interest.
