Well Dan, I am willing to try an experiment over the importance of an .edu link being higher than a .com link, but it's very hard. Bear in mind, I said .edu links are higher than .com links in ABSOLUTE VALUE. This means that at the same other conditions, an .edu link is far more valuable. In order to proceed with the experiment and even get close to similar conditions, we'd need:
- a website, of course, but I suppose that's not a problem;
- two related websites, a .com and a .edu;
- backlinks on those websites, but only with the condition that the two pages have the same number of backlinks overall.
Well, this isn't everything, but they are the basic conditions. Pretty hard, not impossible though.

Good luck wasting your time then, Paul.

People still truly believe .edu carrys more SEO weight then others? I know it can't be miss information because this is said all over the internet and in other far corners.

I'll just say it one last time (ya right! ) .EDU domains do not get any special anything because its a .EDU!
