Isn’t the article confusing correlation with causation? I read like there’s a correlation between acceptance rate and author’s pedigree, but the article sounds like the pedigree is the cause of the high acceptance.

I’m no expert, so please correct if I’m wrong. But for example, how likely is that a Nobel prize winner produces worth-publishing research? Or how likely he is simply good at the skill of paper writing?
