As I remember, the authors where referees for a conference, but did not
receive any paper to refer. As an experiment, the next year, they submitted
three papers to this conference (about image synthesis) ; the first one
suggested to add foot mark on the wall, with a correlation between the size
and the height of the mark ; the second one was about ray tracing in the
absence of light; the third one was a copy of the call for paper. The three
papers were accepted.
