Steve Strogatz posted his referee reports (with annotations for their revision plans) about his genre-defining 1998 ‘small world’ paper with Duncan Watts.
It just goes to show that misguided, skeptical reports (see Referee 2 in the upper right) happen to the best of us.
Referee 2 was confused about the implications of the work to systems other than those studied (and possibly even to those applications)…
(The source is Steve's tweet. I posted the picture separately to orient it correctly.)
