I wonder how this AC-Pilot thing works for NeurIPS 2026.
The guidelines say that "What you are communicating is that the authors do not need to worry about concerns you have not listed, and that there is a real opportunity for acceptance if listed concerns are sufficiently addressed."
However if a reviewer sees that their questions are not on that list compiled by the AC, even if all the listed questions are properly addressed that particular reviewer will be less inclined to change the score, no?
Also despite that they kept emphasizing it's whether the concerns were sufficiently addressed that matters instead of the raw scores, we all know the raw scores matter, so eventually one still must answer all questions?
