Re: the recent discussion on verification: I am actually working on this problem right now, not so much in terms of verifiable content, but how the process of locating information on the Web seems to "be exempt" from scientific processes of falsification. See the abstract to my paper on my website (posted below). I found the following (older) paper very useful: Clever Project (1999). "Hypersearching the Web." Scientific American(June): 54-59. I have another paper which I can't locate, a metastudy of evaluative factors in web site useage which I will post soon.
