it's a shifting baseline, "highest nail will be hammered down" kind of thing?
But also i suppose the object of Power, is Power

Which is probably unfair. But also like really we are doing a second round of reviews because you don’t like... ...the punctuation of a few sentences?

I'm from a different field but I have literally the opposite experience. It seems to me it's relatively more established people, not ECRs, who behave badly. Like demanding citations to their totally unrelated work.

imho the whole project is about collecting and applying this really trivial amount of power. Some people are responsible with it and some aren't, and you can find people of weak character at all levels.

I agree but people with more prestige/power (professors for escape) can jettison a paper for their own benefit way more easily.

To give some concrete cases, I know of two papers which were purposefully delayed during the review process (like a year) so the reviewing professors could quickly run copy cat studies and get them published first. Very pure example of malicious scooping.

No grad student or postdoc would get away with that for many reasons.

What I said was about hyperfocus on things like grammar. You’re taking about something else.

Yeah, indeed. The hyper focus on grammar is exactly what a *specific kind* of ECR might obsess about. Sadly it's likely because they genuinely can't comment on anything of substance and might even have been a bad choice of reviewer. Most ECRs though, in my opinion do a good job.
