Next question:

        How much does Rasch analysis depend upon the evaluators being ignorant
that the method will be used? 
        In other words, can 

        (A) one Rasch-aware judge
        (B) a minority of Rasch-aware judges
        (C) a majority of Rasch-aware judges (but not the whole panel)

        still 

        (a) bring about a desired result 
        (b) without giving scores stranger than are now given?
        (c) without needing a specially-programmed Palm Pilot 
            or other "smoking gun" to hack the math?
