Two maps don’t make a truth

Via MetaFilter, I ended up at Truthmapping (Metafilter thread), a site that purports to bring rationalization to the max. Or something like that. I agree with most of the comments that the site’s idea (and intent) is good but the whole execution is messy at best:

“For starters, you don’t need to seek rationalization from an entirely different domain to debate the ethics or morality of something like abortion. The presenter of this particular argument is seeking rationalization and support for obvious fundamentally-interpreted political reasons, even if his sophmoric grasp of reproductive biology is partially/mostly correct.”

Looking at the software that drives truthmapping, I think it would serve perfectly as a ‘test script’ generator for big software systems. I have been planning to write something like this for the longest time.
