Are you saying it’s a popularity score when you’re basing it follows but not when you’re basing it on zaps? I’m not convinced.
I’m trying to get you to face what is apparently a difficult question, and I feel like I’m pulling teeth. Why should we care about the PageRank score in any of its variations? What does PageRank measure? It’s not enough to regurgitate the equation. You could point out abstractly “it’s useful and that’s all you need to know” but that’s avoiding the question. Boil it down to its essence in a way that is substantive, meaningful and that makes sense to a pleb. I say it measures popularity. You say it measures … what?
