Be careful about Barabasi: https://liorpachter.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/the-network-non...

(FWIW, I had previously read some Barabasi papers and had come away seriously unimpressed, see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9555547)

I misremembered Albert-László Barabási for Laszlo Babai - I was wondering why you were unimpressed!

Yes, scale-free networks (and so on, and so on), are oversold. Is his work really that bad though?
