An Amusing Episode in the Anthroplogy of Science

The story: having seen a call for a special issue of the french journal TSI, I decided to make the effort and translate to french a paper which, I think, is one of the most important things I've done in science. After a lot of effort (my french is not so good) I manage to produce the following paper:

  • O. Maler Du Contrôle Optimal et Sous-optimal en Présence d'adversaires 2005.


  • I was sure that I am doing a favor to this (otherwise anonymous) journal and the mono-lingual public in general. To my surprise I've received after some months a rejection letter accompanied with three harsh referee reports.

    I am not sure yet about the moral of the story...
