Motivation:
The reviewers appeared to be in a hurry, looking for any excuse to reject. The reasons they gave were imaginary, things that existed only in the reveiwer's minds. The words they used did not match the contents of the paper. This is irresponsible behavior. The publishing of papers is the primary criteria for being hired into research positions. These reviewers have tremendous power over the lives of authors. There needs to be a feedback mechanism in place that corrects their behavior when they act irresponsibly like this.
