I really like your counter argument, focusing on the process instead of the output. However I have to ask: isn&#x27;t the end goal of submitting a manuscript to get recognition for it? Do you genuinely hope every time that your submission will be mercilessly torn apart and possibly rejected instead of getting the recognition for the work you&#x27;ve done?<p>Truly I have seen article reviews ruin a budding research scientist&#x27;s career. Of course one could argue that other problems contribute to finding themselves in that position.
