Peer reviews of the quantum cryptography community at the moment: Reviewers from other areas: "Not my area, not interested, so reject" Reviewers from our own area: "I can understand your high-level techniques, so that makes your paper trivial." This toxicity has been giving me depression and nihilism for quite a while. In the reviews for each of my QIP submission, I got a 1-sentence review that simply summarizes the paper (or even says some good things! ) but gives a "weak reject" for no reason. This is not surprising by the historically consistent high-entropy of QIP reviews from people outside your area. What surprises and saddens me at most is this one reviewer, clearly from our own area because they actually understand what we do on a high-level, who, however, gives ridiculous reasons for weak rejection: 1. They believe the statement we prove is highly-expected to be true by the community. ---Aren't a lot of important theorems highly expected ...
