That's pretty funny, considering that the creator of the GE Imagination
Market herself concludes in several published papers that "*using markets to
rank ideas may be no better than other methods of idea ranking*,"(1) and
that "*a survey of market participants yielded mixed results regarding the
market's effectiveness at ranking ideas.*"(2) Elsewhere, on GE's own blog,
one of those participants details at length the conceptual and practical
incoherence of such self-referential "preference markets".(3)
