With all due respect, Mr. Holberg, Nature has responded to Britannica's rebuttal and has stated that it has taken all of its materials from Britannica online.

http://www.nature.com/nature/britannica/eb_advert_response_final.pdf

While Britannica is understandably feeling a blow to its dignity from Nature's conclusions to match it up with near egalitarian level with a 5-year-old encyclopedia run by minimal professional management, the study should not be wholly dismissed as false and not credible, for the journal describe its peer review process, which does not seem to be full of holes to me as a reader, quite thoroughly here:

I would also like to add that I say all this as someone who is not affiliated with either Britannica, Nature, or Wikipedia.

I will not address arguments directly that do not that do not comply with my previous comments regarding error reduction and the application of bias to correct bias compounding said error. Reduce your own bias errors and then maybe you can draw me into direct debate. There is nothing wrong with your form of presentation but your own bias in looking for bias is too evident for me to consider direct engagement a worthwhile endeavor.

Todd:

Please try to deal directly with the points that I brought up.

If you are not familiar with the FP, then I suggest taking a good look at its articles dealing with the Middle East.

These magazines should know that they can no longer engage in dehumanizing other people without being exposed.

The Scientific Method - You observe and measure. You evolve hypotheses and devise models to test them. You develop theories. Others repeat these tests and either confirm, modify or nullify these theories. Some theories become physical laws. When an experimenter seeks to find error in an experiment, one of the very first things they look for is bias in quantification, the model or the analysis that lead to the theory. Application of bias to correct a bias compounds error. Elimination of bias gives better, more accurate results. -- Dave, well said. Karim, read the above until you understand it.

Dave:

That was my answer to his "The United States is constrained by Islamist terrorists" statement and other pro-US imperialist agenda that the FP proudly promotes.

I think readers who are not familiar with the FP deserve to know where the FP stands politically.

The article could have avoided making political statements in its attempt to analyze market powers and trends.

And by the way, small players have always fought bigger powers, this is not new or original. The United States itself was founded by small players who challenged and fought the powerful British empire.

Hey Karim?

Get over yourself a whit and try - what the hell, huh, just for grins and giggles? - to deal with the range of significant issues carefully noted in the column, and not drag the whole issue over to your fetid 1st-yr. ME PoliSci "Zionazis-behind-it-all" agitprop. Get. A. Life. Kiddo.

To wit, yutz:

"This trend, where players can rapidly accumulate immense power, where the power of traditional megaplayers is successfully challenged, and where power is both ephemeral and harder to exercise, is evident in every facet of human life. In fact, it is one of the defining and not yet fully understood characteristics of our time."

And:

"What may be coming--and in some ways is already here--is a hyper-polar world where many large, powerful actors coexist with myriad smaller powers (not all of which are nation-states) that greatly limit the dominance of any single nation or institution."

Well said, IMHO, and well-seen in the limitations imposed inter-aila on, say, Russia, in the coverage over the investigation of the poisoning of former KGB agent, and sadly late - Alexander Litvinenko:

Just imagine British Airways passengers on - at last count - "33,000 passengers from 221 flights" (BBC) getting texted, emailed, chatted, blogged, reading scrollers on airport TV screens as they get their luggage and - even called (how quaint) about their putative exposure to Polonium - 210.

"The home secretary said that more locations could be screened for radiation.
"To date, around 24 venues have or are being monitored and experts have confirmed traces of contamination at around 12 of these venues," he said."

I don't think, with even the recent release of the first James Bond flic, "Casino Royale," that even the Soviet Union of the era characterized in the film could have imagined such a hail of public reaction to a simple spray-can "liq-vid-ation," in the early 1960's when state power was everything, and the droogs of Clockwork Orange were still fast asleep.

It is important to note that Nature's sampling in the study of Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia cited by Mr. Naim wasn't random, and that was just the beginning of its problems. In fact, the study was entirely without merit. A number of the "Britannica" articles examined weren't even Britannica articles at all. It would be impossible to summarize everything that was wrong with the study in this space, but Britannica's full rebuttal is here: http://corporate.britannica.com/britannica_nature_response.pdf.

Please note that anything the FP or Mr. Naim writes about the Middle East (Arabs, Muslims, etc) is tinted by its likudist blatantly pro-Israel (anti-Arab) bias.

I am a regular reader of the FP but I do so in order to collect the many of its vicious anti-Arab anti-Muslim views contained in its articles. I pay for the magazine in spite of. It is painful.

For instance, the cover of its Nov/Dec 2006 edition was center titled "The Terrorist Next Door" with a picture of a white blonde woman next to Bin-Laden holding a nuclear weapon.

On the same cover, it was written "Why Israel won the war" and "How to Save the Neocons".

Inside the magazine, 2 professors explain and give the reader, in a subtle way, every reason to become suspicious of their neighbor, especially when they are Muslim/Arab (it is inferred that way). The article presents nuclear bomb making as an easy process to the point where one wonders why entire states like Iran are struggling to make one.

The article on "Why Israel won the war" explains, among other outrageous things, carefully why Israel's response to the kidnapping of 2 of its soldiers by killing 1300 Lebanese (and destroying a lot of infrastructure) was not disproportionate.

The hundred thousands of bomblets from cluster bombs that Israel littered Southern Lebanon with was not addressed in the article. You can bet that the editors of FP (headed by Mr. Naim) could care less about the Lebanense children who are still maimed and killed by these unexploited bombs. Just blame it all on KH-ezbollah, those bloody "Islamist terrorists".

The web, advances in modern telecommunication and access to cheap media are some of the important parameters
in giving microplayers a chance to play against megapowers in a globalized village.

The old dinasur megaplayers are going to lose to the more mobile microplayers if they cannot adapt to the new technological advances. There is an asymmetrical competition, but once the microplayers establish themselves as new mega-microplayers there is less opportunity for other microplayers to compete with examples of google and WKI. The megapowers are being replaced or augmented by more technologically adapted microplayers, but the basic principles of competition remains the same.

Another excellent and multi-dimensional analysis by Moisés Naím.
