ICLR submission admits tables are simulated draft results; Reddit mocks review culture
fighraccoon · reddit · 2026-10-17
A screenshot of an ICLR 2027 under-review paper shows Table 2's caption admitting the numbers are simulated draft results that "should be replaced by actual experimental results before submission" — yet the prose earnestly analyzes the method's wins across three EEG benchmarks. The image traces back to a Xiaohongshu post titled "Done pretending." The Reddit poster jokes that many submissions are quietly better than this one, just by deleting that one line.
