Dude, we\'re not going to delete a very useful and well-defined page just because it defies some abstract concept of cultural relativisim. We sitting here in the year 2010 do have a \'true\' picture of the relative qualities of a work... as it applies to \'\'the year 2010\'\'. We can objectively say that something that used to be hated is now, in the present day, beloved. If something that was VindicatedByHistory goes back to being hated by the year 2110, then our descendents can move the entry over to another trope for that situation: DeaderThanDisco.

Of course, some things are more enduring than others in that regard (it\'s probably a safe bet that Shakespeare is going to outlast most of the other entries), but if we had to write every audience reaction trope from the perspective of the final moment in the universe, they\'d all be blank.

If it helps any, what you\\\'re describing does have a page too: PopularityPolynomial.
