Sorry to be a little off topic but I think search engines should penalize material that is not clearly marked with date of creation.


I've seen academic papers with no date and it drives me crazy. I'm sure there's some reason for it related to the publication process but can be hard to vet a paper without knowing more about the context in which it was written.
