NIPS & double blind reviewing

[Tony Bell]

Two more arguments FOR.

1. It will be even more fun trying to guess the authors than 
it is trying to guess your reviewers.

2. We can pretend to be other people. This would broaden 
our research and our empathy functions. Next year I hope 
to submit something apparently co-authored by Martin 
Wainwright, Jonathan Yedidia and Ilya Nemenman. 

  Any abuses of this new freedom can be easily caught by 
the Program Committee with minimal extra effort.
