I was wondering how the GLOW paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.03039) got that nice, large figure on its front page in the NeurIPS format. Thus, I downloaded the TeX source file from arXiv. I found something quite amusing in the comments of the TeX file though, on line 182 of ms.tex:

“- Add cool-looking figure of generated faces to lure the reader.”

Anybody else think this is quite funny? It is like we, as readers, are being given such a nice little treat (the figure) to initially grab our attention.

It also can serve as a reminder to sanitize your TeX source files before sharing them on arXiv.
