[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interested in history of a small Indian tribe is pointy. Publishing a paper on this topic on a high level journal is a spike. No national awards, but the achievement is at the same level. [/quote] That sounds like the definition of a faked spike, or maybe your belief about what it actually is. Kids who genuinely have the depth of interest in an arcane subject have done a lot more than “be interested” in the history and published a paper (more likely got their name as the 7th author in a pay-to-play scenario). Honestly don’t worry about it because you cannot actually manufacture a genuine spike. [/quote]
