Review for NeurIPS paper: High-contrast "gaudy" images improve the training of deep neural network models of visual cortex

This paper had borderline scores. Overall, I think this paper presents a nice core finding that was sufficiently well validated in the context of simulations. The simulated results are reasonably compelling and relatively thorough analyses were presented. In the discussion with reviewers, there was a reasonable consensus that the author response overemphasized the extent to which the reviewers were hung up on the lack of experimental data. While R3 felt most strongly that this specific paper was not strong enough without further empirical validation, this was clarified to not be a bias against simulation papers generally, but rather the reviewer's opinion that they were not convinced this specific paper's results were strong enough without real data.
