Presently cited over 300 times according to Google Scholar:

https://scholar.google.ca/scholar?cites=18129095207210817294...

It's like an academic equivalent of a software patent on an existing idea.

Incidentally, I was looking into these citations yesterday and many are serious ones. Which is worrying.

Someone pointed out that most of them probably cited as a joke, like in the legal field where they cite ridiculous lawsuit names ("The United States of America vs Satan")

  • Yeah, they're not serious citations. They're either criticisms or jokes. I've heard that it's become a bit of a meme.
