My criticism of double-blind continued to invite a few more responses.

Particularly noteworthy, James pointed out that the journal ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS) as part of instituting double-blind reviewing, wrote up an editorial of the pros and cons. I have unfortunately been busy enough with my dissertation I have not had a chance to look through it.

Stefan pointed out that as scientists we ought to believe in the principle of double-blind experimental process. I can't argue with that. However, I imagine one could debate whether selecting papers for conference or workshop should be considered a scientific process.

Less seriously, one might consider the triple blind reviewing as described in Professor Short and Doctor Tall's »The Blind Leading the Blind« (note that this links to a PowerPoint presentation). An excellent photo from the talk
