They make their very conservative projections, and then everyone else makes realistic projections. Your conservative projections are called "expectations" but the market expectations are actually higher. Its the nonsense that happens when accounting is based on absurd rules.

I have eaten and ordered wines in every one of those restaurants. The comments here about pricing of wine in Nashville is accurate. I have eaten and ordered wines in every one of those restaurants.

It is not, therefore, objective. The Engemann/Wall ranking is sensitive only to the choice of the top 7 journals, which they happily admit is subjective but honest. The LP method is the former but not the latter.

This *IS* the LP method, highly simplified, which the paper critiques. The LP method, however, would (i) not assume 7, but use all, and (ii) iteratively determine their importance. gocards -

Or are you afraid of all the "wordy stuff"? The top general journals are not called top because of their ranking. They are chosen in a first stage and are then ranked just like the rest of the journals. You missed the entire point that the iterative process is only seemingly objective. If you understood the math as well as your snarkiness suggests, then you might be able to understand that. Hey dummy, did you even read the article? Or are you afraid of all the "wordy stuff"?
