Hi,

How much does adding an honest limitations section hurt the paper (apart from making it better)?

Does it bias the reviewers? Will they want you to fix the things in the limitations section?

If the reviewers let AI read the paper, will the limitations section bias AI?

Would it be better if the limitations section was hidden from the reviewers? And if the reviewers would have to author a limitations section?
