Hot take: Constrained scientific writing (like a 1 page rebuttal) introduces a massive disadvantage for non-native English speakers - unfair IMHO. LLMs like ChatGPT are finally getting rid of that and put everybody on the same level w.r.t. writing skills.

@david_picard I think it's less about native or not, and more that some people just can't help being verbose and others are naturally concise, in their mothertongue too.
@giffmana @david_picard e.g. Tolkien would suck with those 1 page rebuttals. To be fair, he would probably only submit to journals with no page limit.
