On the one hand, sure, I'm one of those scientists. On the other hand, we're still considered a subfield whose work isn't always considered entirely relevant to the rest of the field, because we're measured by the yardstick of task-specific performance on benchmark datasets. I just reviewed a paper yesterday that was powerful and general, but wasn't really trying to hit SOTA on any one test task its architecture could perform. It was trying for generality. This likely got it dinged by the other reviewers.

That attitude seems entirely reasonable to me. > I just reviewed a paper yesterday that was powerful and general, but wasn't really trying to hit SOTA on any one test task its architecture could perform. It was trying for generality. This likely got it dinged by the other reviewers. That seems like an interesting paper!
