Wrong, it proportionally favors sites it sees as important.

I don't want to speak for Brett, but I think that misses his valid point:

Ok, lets have a vote on the future of WebmasterWorld. Everyone gets one vote for every post they've left. That's the way PageRank works. It disproportionatly favors the large sites.

The point is: PageRank is allocated per page, not per site. Larger sites have a built-in advantage in this "democracy" over smaller sites simply because they have more votes.

(It's my point, anyway, whether it's Brett's or not!)
