Is it not just an enhancement of the existing paradigm though (BackRub)? It
sure sounds like it, but I haven't read beyond the headlines. In fact, I
think it intentionally remains obscure and most probably these methods will
remain secret as only their creators know the flaws and the way things can
be exploited. It is about as dangerous as closed source: 'Gods' who know
how the world is run and 'little people' who wander aimlessly in a maze
created by the 'Gods'.
