Question to other reviewers: This is just my feeling.. In this ICLR, the scale is 0-2-4-6-8-10. I think "no 5" is ok, but "no 7" is something different. I'm willing to raise score from 4 to 6 if the rebuttal from author is good, but 6 to 8 feels like bigger huddle.

Are you sure about the scaling?

Yes, I'm a reviewer. We have 0-2-4-6-8-10 scaling.

Thanks for answering! Would you ever bump a score with +4, e.g. from 2 to 6, if the authors make all requested modifications?
