> a highly detailed critique from someone who will either be scooped or proven wrong, so they're looking for any reason to reject

sounds like an ideal reviewer, tbh

"Reason" might be "major flaw in your statistical analysis", but it could also be "you should have cited my paper" or "insufficient jargon."

I'd want to hear that out and make sure I'm not mistaking "I've done some prior work that enriches yours" for "You should have cited my paper" or "You're not communicating clearly and succintly" for "insufficient jargon"
