I suppose someone has to check of the story at the link is true. Two physicists had a paper rejected so they added an imaginary co-author whose name is an obscenity. They resubmitted and the paper was accepted. Not spelled out whether it was a different or same journal.

If you have a proposal that is not high enough quality, it will not ever be accepted. But, for proposals that are high quality, it can be a crapshoot whether it will be funded or not.

I used this thread so we won't have to keep looking at the same May post as the last one....
