Recently two books,          by Peter Woit         and         by Lee Smolin,          have been published questioning whether the enormous theoretical        effort applied to the problems of string theory has been        fruitful.  Both books have been reviewed in           several        popular        publications,          and generated substantial discussion both inside and outside of        the physics community.                        One response was published several days ago           by Briane Greene          on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times (also        here).  A          famously grouchy observer          called the editorial a long, wistful plea for patience.  But        what struck me most as I read it was its similarity to the           crackpot index          maintained by John Baez.  So, for fun, I scored it.
