Any thinking of mine that has ever gone into a blog post became instantly sharper on contact with my commenters. How do books do that again?

@ddmeyer Ideas in books also tend to half a much longer half life. V. happy with the upward slope in this graph: https://scholar.google.ca/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ZP0eZ94AAAAJ&citation_for_view=ZP0eZ94AAAAJ:u5HHmVD_uO8C …

@ddmeyer I wonder if @michael_nielsen's experience has to do with nature of book? Textbook/research vs. Untested ideas being tossed out?

@hemantmehta @ddmeyer True of a much more speculative book, too (not as long a baseline yet, though): https://scholar.google.ca/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ZP0eZ94AAAAJ&citation_for_view=ZP0eZ94AAAAJ:uWQEDVKXjbEC …
