The GaWC is the most highly publicized list of them all. High profile and most respected are NOT the same thing. It's not like anyone has conducted a poll.

At the end of the day it is simply a list produced by one organization based on the criteria they chose. It should never been viewed as 'gospel' even though cities at the top would sure like it to be seen that way. It's absurd to say 'City A' is the world's most important because you read it or this organization said so. These things should always be taken with a grain of salt. There value lies in understanding how and why they conclude the things they do.
