I think this is the gist of it. ppl retweet stuff they think is helpful/interesting to other. it doesn't have to be unprecedented to RT.

I think what gets me is there's nothing wrong with propagating for propagation's sake but is that going to result in low quality control?

I don't know the answer but it makes me skeptical of journal articles with high altmetrics occasionally.

as it should. I don't see any reason to think RT count is a particularly good metric of quality. it's twitter, after all.

I take altmetrics seriously too. there's a large space between "don't take altmetrics seriously" and "RT count isn't a great QC metric".

I think lots of potential indicators of quality have some (incremental) predictive validity, but shouldn't stand alone.
