Aaron Clauset comments on the article in his blog. I am glad to see he shares our view but what he does not know (because the history of a paper is never clearly realized in its final published form) is that the article was send for the first time during the spring 2008. It’s been a looong way until somebody else realized the paper gave a comprehensive view of the (at that time!) current data and accepted the paper for publication. Are we facing some sectarism in science? I (naively) used to think NO, but sometimes one does not know what to believe…
