I have no idea, but I'm presuming it has some value and effect since all the SEO guys use it as a metric. Those guys make their livings dealing with the engines, so if it was a pure fiction, I doubt as many bits would be devoted to figuring it out.

He doesn't actually make the case that PR is dead. He makes that case that it would be hard for Google to show you your contextual PR. But, even as that may be, one could assume that the PR Google does present you is your generally best PR for the topics you represent. Nebulous yes, but understandable and reasonable as well. I don't know if that's what it is, but neither does Scoble. Beyond that he contradicts himself. First he says that PR is keyword sensitive and that it changes from search to search. Then he says that he shows up for searches that are not relevant to him, which would seem to indicate to me that his PR is uniformly high. Which is it? If it was as he said at the top of the piece, he would mainly show up for tech and geek stuff as he wants to. Also, I deserve all the traffic I get. Dammit. :) Eh.
