I just do not like these kind of ratings, I believe that they are
manipulatory, defending the interest of certain persons/lobbies and are
often very biased.
Am I wrong on this one?
I would appreciate any point of view.
On one hand the site claims to define the ranking on available knowledge
acceptance etc. OTH it does not give any definition of cretira and uses
terms like Status that do not seem to be defined anywhere.
Enough to make a notorious pessimist very, very sceptic about it. :(

Cheers
Robert
