ieee has lost any semblance of trustworthiness.
At that point I thought IEEE was a mostly money-grabbing organization. This was more than half a decade ago.
If it has not changed recently, memberships in IEEE are just a matter of paying the fee.
There is also the issue of authors having to transfer copyright to IEEE.
Yet you have to distinguish between IEEE conferences and IEEE standard bodies. I was briefly involved in the latter and I met great people.
You might publish contrary opinions to spur debate, but you don't publish things you think are total garbage.
The IEEE thinks this is worth reading.
I couldn't help myself asking why the fuck is it on your website, then?
