I'd be interested to hear if others agree with my assessment or not.

ajkohn,

I agree completely. What's more, AuthorRank could be Google's best defense and the best cure for faults in their existing search algos.

Google works great - mostly. AuthorRank is an improvement to their algos that will be much harder to scam, break and abuse.

AuthorRank is an elegant, desireable, long-awaited bug fix. I can't wait to see it happen.

I too am eager to see Google experiment with AuthorRank. Not only should it be much harder to scam, break and abuse, I believe Google is thinking about those things in the creation phase, something I'm not sure occurred with PageRank.
