you're either pretending not to get the issue, or you really don't get it. both of those make almost everybody feel sad for you
and in either case, you didn't realize how deeply embarrassing it is to admit "yeah, i don't see why everyone thinks 'NIPS' is a bad conference name."
you are a PHD STUDENT!! you are staking your LIFE on A CAREER THAT'S ONLY ABOUT THINKING!! you can't see the problem with a conference named TITS?
