When Orin Kerr Is Equivocal About My Arguments, I Get More Inbound Traffic
Orin has a series of posts about explaining why brilliant people happen to agree with him, while people with disagree with him are acting in bad faith. I have noticed this phenomenon myself, but wanted to explore a weird variation of it. When people like Orin are ambivalent about something I’ve said, I am much more likely to get inbound traffic to Concurring Opinions. When people like Orin agree with me, by contrast, they may link but say what I said better, sucking up eyeballs. People like Orin rarely disagree with me, but when they do, they probably feel pretty bad to be so very wrong.
