Heh! This is especially true for SIGGRAPH! Just take some ten year old physics / engineering paper, implement the algorithm on a GPU, done! To be fair, SIGGRAPH has a strong focus on applied work, and the contributions are often extremely amazing, despite the fact that the underlying method has been developed by someone else and published before.
