double blind review

[Christine Bolbirer]

If what the author is communicating in his or her paper is truly ground
breaking and worthy of recognition then with enough effort it will be
recognized (if not by the NIPS reviewers then the scientific community in
general).  This process of bind, double blind for the sake of "fairness" is
nothing but an ego trip on both sides. Call me naive or worse but that's
just how it seems to me.
