Yes, I'm convinced tons of published results are flawed! I heard top researchers tell their students "don't spend too much time on the proofs, nobody reads them"). And much CS scientific papers don't get a lot of attention. But it's not necessarily bad, other researchers builds on top of this work and results consolidate over time.
- xenonite 5y agoIsn’t this a misunderstanding? I suspect they rather meant to avoid spending too much time on language in these parts.
- yodsanklai 5y agoNo, it's not. In that specific case, the supervisor thought the value of the paper didn't lie in the proofs, plus it was a rank B conference. He rather has his student working on a different paper than spending 1 week on the proof.
