Eh?
A comment near the end of this discussion reads:

"Philosophy is a field where citation numbers will nearly always be low for contemporary practitioners, and are pretty useless as an indicator of notability. Academics who do philosophy (as opposed to studying its history) like to present their work as being based on first priciples rather than on the work of others, so rarely cite their peers."

This is so wildly false I don't even know where to start. Hairhorn (talk) 02:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
