– John Battelle pumped up “-Color”- at inception, and now we have confirmation that it is a lemon.

Jason (a Freakonomics reader):
You are giving yourself WAY too much credit. Siskel and Ebert successfully predict these awards 100% year after year. This isn’t a difficult thing to predict. Predicting something like the NCAA tourney, that would be an accomplishment, but if you look at rankings and your prediction market, you will fail just as much as the average bracket.
