    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

Some PGR mistakes–including omission of Michigan from Phil of Science (also LSE, Notre Dame)

Brian Leiter

Thanks to alert readers for already catching some typos and transcription errors.  (You may e-mail errors to me or Brit.)  The most serious one is that the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor was wrongly omitted from the General Philosophy of Science ranking, due to a transcription error–Michigan in fact had a rounded mean of 4.0 and a median and mode of 4.0 in this specialty, as one might have expected.   (Thanks to Brad Wray for flagging the surprising omission for us.)

ADDENDUM:  And LSE has a rounded mean of 4.0 and University of Notre Dame had a rounded mean of 3.5 in Philosophy of Science as well.  Apologies.  Brit is double-checking the scores in this category, which hopefully is the only one with transcription errors of this magnitude.
