太逗了  好像是IBM的一个人reviewer 写的。
“A Mathematical Theory of Communication.”
This paper is poorly motivated and excessively abstract.
It is unclear for what practical problem it might be relevant.
The author claims that “semantic aspects of communication
are irrelevant to the engineering problems,” which seems to
indicate that his theory is suitable mostly for transmitting
gibberish. Alas, people will not pay to have gibberish transmitted
anywhere.
I don’t understand the relevance of discrete sources: No matter
what one does, in the end, the signal will have to be modulated
using good old-fashioned vacuum tubes, so the signal on the
“channel” will always be analogical.
A running example would have helped make the presentation clearer
and less theoretical, but none is provided.Also, the author presents no
implementation details or experiments taken from a practical application.
Confidential comments to the editor:
The only thing absolutely wrong with this paper is that it doesn’t
quite “resonate” with what the research community finds exciting.
At any point, there are sexy topics and unsexy ones:
these days, television is sexy and color television is even sexier.
Discrete channels with a finite number of symbols are good for telegraphy,
but telegraphy is 100 years old, hardly a good research topic.
The author mentions computing machines, such as the recent ENIAC.
Well, I guess one could connect such machines, but a recent IBM memo
stated that a dozen or so such machines will be sufficient for all the
computing that we’ll ever need in the foreseeable future, so there won’t
be a whole lot of connecting going on with only a dozen
ENIACs!
IBM has decided to stay out of the electronic computing business, and this
journal should probably do the same!

那个作者是为了反映目前的review现状，你仔细看看这里所谓“review”的用词就知道决不可能出自专业review之手，尤其是在4、50年代，那会research，投paper还是很严肃的事情

听你的话 我又仔细看了看 好像确实是为了搞笑用的。
谢谢你
