>> I don't see anything impressive in this paper. They basically say what they want to do, no results.

These are often called "position papers". There's no reason why they shouldn't be written, and published.

Yes, indeed. My point is that there is nothing impressive about it. It is just a good idea.

The way I see it is that it doesn't have to be "impressive", as long as it's interesting and fosters debate. Science is a debate- not a circus with acrobats and trained horses. We can discuss problems and how to solve them without having to overhype everything all the time. In fact, for me that's the best way to do it. Even more so in machine learning where hype is over-abundant.
