My wife works in a fairly niche field and can often guess at the very least which university or research group a blind paper is from, and quite often the author (or in the case of a PhD student, the authors supervisor).

True. But that opens the game of writing a paper “with the style of” someone known and get accepted. Its a gamble game… for authors and reviewers.

But if they can't, surely they won't reject the paper because of that?
