Someone posted after the blog entry this comment - Isn't this what footnotes and bibliographies are for?

I don't see how footnotes and bibliographies address the issue raised. Where would this footnote be that questioned the Longitude book? The idea is to allow people to be aware of articles and books that question other books.

A better response might be - Isn't this what Amazon is for?

With many areas that deal with books Amazon is filling a niche that libraries should be in but never got around to.
