The headline is misleading. This isn't about the mathematical analysis of community with e.g. graph/network theory.

It's commentary on a rant in the Chronicle of Higher Ed by a professional poet, who is upset that the great unwashed can get their poems published as easily as he can nowadays.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, when he says "math" he really means "counting".

Sorry, as a new poster, what's proper protocol? Should I change the author's title for HN?
You're fine. I was in a momentary snit because the Chronicle piece was so vile. I was going for violent agreement.

Sorry if it didn't come across that way, and welcome to HN.
