ICLR 2027 submission spike looks inflated: only ~22K truly new papers, argues researcher

Arguing the ICLR 2027 submission angst is overblown: NeurIPS 2026 took 40K submissions, most likely also filed as ICLR abstracts due to timing overlaps. Genuinely new ICLR submissions written after May are only 22K; if NeurIPS accepts 25% (10K papers), ICLR would land at 50K — just 10K above NeurIPS. Timeline chaos even has workshop notifications arriving before main-track ones.
