> With your comment you are actually insulting people

It's not a personal insult to say a paper that someone produced was of poor quality (I don't know whether or not it was, I have not read it). Someone can produce something bad without it saying anything about their character.




You can find it here [1].

I am not talking personal insults either. It is insulting their work and profession. Producing paper is their work. Producing paper and delivering a project that makes an impact is rare and should be appreciated.

It is like you have a successful opensource project and somebody says you are a really bad programmer without any context.

It's not an insult to say that work was done bad. Nobody deserves appreciation just because they did something, and nobody deserves to be told to essentially shut up when they give a value judgement you do not agree with.

Thanks for the link, I will read it.

Edit: Given that the ideas presented in the paper are somewhat novel (and there is more than one such idea), I would guess the original post was complaining about the grammatical errors that are in it. I've definitely read papers that purported to be more "important" that eventually (after many words saying essentially nothing of value) turned out to have far less novel information in them, so I would say that in the realm of compsci papers that invent new relevant (as opposed to purely academic) algorithms this one is above-average.


Well, i wish my high-school reports were scopus indexed with almost 200 citations.

Jokes aside, the Wiley link is dead which is kind of funny, given the scihub talk above
