How do some researchers consistently get published in venues with low acceptance rates? I'm more interested in answers from researchers in the field of computer science/electrical engineering.  Having said that, readers in a different discipline observing such phenomenon are welcome to contribute.

I know of a few 'famous' individuals who have copious number of articles appearing in top journals/conferences every year without fail.  Looking at their CV, it seems that they have a 100% success rate at these top venues.  

Question: as we know, the review process is random at times, with 'dumb' reviewers rejecting papers for no good reasons.  This in turn forces us to look for an alternative or perhaps lower ranking venue to publish our articles.  Given this fact, how do the said individuals have such a consistent record?  Is there a level one can get to where every idea is gold and every presentation is such that even a dumb reviewer can't recommend a reject? Or is it the case that there is a 'back door' or the individual or institution reputation is so bright that any reviewers are obligated to accept the article?

What is their strategy?
Since people rarely document papers NOT published, a 100% success rate for papers in a CV is kind of guaranteed.

It does often seem like some PIs have the 'magic touch' when it comes to publishing, and here are some factors that may contribute to this success:


they work on a very hot topic
they are very established


[a] unfortunately publishing begets further publishing as ones name becomes associated with a high quality record
[b] they are possibly personally acquainted with some of the reviewers, which could help grease the wheels

they are at a top institution (yes, this probably helps)
they are working on several projects in tandem and so submit more papers in general
they may be a pro at working the review process: invalidating certain dissenters by request or by inviting comments on a  manuscript prior to publication (disqualifying them), or through fierce contest when papers are rejected. 


The publication process is far from a perfect or even acceptable, and many factors contribute. Those that know how to exploit these factors will be more successful, deserving or not.
