CCL: Name of authors during review ...!!!

 Sent to CCL by: Robert Molt [r.molt.chemical.physics(!)gmail.com]
 Clarification, pursuant to some private correspondence given to me:
the names I mentioned in my former email of great scientists (Dr. Bartlett and Dr. Cramer) were mentioned NOT to imply that there is something wrong with the higher esteem given to their names (my PhD advisor and MS advisor, respectively!).
My point is simply that some rookie (me, for example) is not going to have a bias in his favor for the same work as someone who has already proven (him/her)self. I acknowledge this is not always a bad thing, but it defeats the point of meritocracy (success based on the specific paper and the paper alone, not anyone's past).
I am hugely biased if I see a paper written by Anna Krylov or Don Truhlar. I am sure, in the recesses of my mind, I will *not* question it half as much as I would a name I did not know. That's not judging a paper on its own merits, its own logic.
