Stafford Lightman on the role of the reviewer: it is to ask “is this a good paper”. He makes the claim junior scientists may not be appropriate reviewers because they may just criticize it rather than ask if it is good quality for publication. Hmm

I agree that an appropriate reviewer should ask that question. But assuming this is because of junior scientists is both wrong and wrongheaded. If this person worried about junior scientists doing a bad job, whom I am not convinced are the problem here ofc, he should train them.

Yup. Junior people always get told off for being badly trained or not trained at all by survivors of the system (who by definition either had good training or were lucky enough to pick it up without being kicked out).
