Double blind makes plenty of sense for determining merit of papers.
Does it also make sense when selecting a speaker? These are often people chosen because of their public reputation for something they've accomplished, often uniquely identified as "inventor of X," and each usually come with their own off-topic oddities that need to be overlooked if you want to hear their on-topic thoughts.
What's the right process here?
- PedroBatista 10y agoI think the right process here is being a grown up. "off-topic oddities" is another name of "being a person", how sad is the fact someone goes to a conference and demands the speaker to be a one-dimensional deliverer of the topic they subscribed to and most of the cases already agree 100% ( not 99% ) These kind of people always existed, the fact that organizations fold so easily to them is news to me.
