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?
