I forgot to mention something else. It isn't just that Copeland's faults would benefit the same people to whom the academic world is grateful for money. It's also true that those who benefit the most from the status-quo would presumably rather not have reform, and a method that's sure to screw up & discredit itself, & rank-balloting, & sw reform, is just the kind of sw method that one would expect to be advocated by someone who wants to prevent reform.
