the point, i guess is, do what works for u. but if u find PR works for u, maybe something else works for u better. after all PR is just an aggregation of various other methods. There are various other techniques that give 100% recall - which might be slower to implement but faster to see results. i have been looking at so many methods and i have found that the output to input ratio is much higher in many other methods. so i guess just blindly believing in PR or accusing PR of not being any good might not b proper. But at $200+ for the system - its definitely not worth it in my opinion. BTW i own the system and have tried and used it. but the book might be a good buy if u want to try out the system.
