Uh, fine. Sure, some of the rejections may be appropriate. But the situation with Drafts and PCalc are still very valid examples of problems with Apple's policies.
I updated my post with a note at the bottom already. And two examples, one of which is actually not clear-cut at all (I don't agree that the Drafts case is actually necessarily an invalid rejection) and the other of which got reversed almost immediately, doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot. Do you know how many apps get reviewed every single day? And how many of those get validly rejected, for reasons that nobody here would possibly disagree with? I think the answer is probably higher than you expect.
I would love it if cases like PCalc never even happened. But I'm willing to accept that sometimes bad decisions happen, and we have to do our best to see that it gets fixed.
Edit: To clarify on Drafts, I definitely think that they need to be consistent with their policies, though that can be very hard when you have lots of different reviewers reviewing apps, as they may interpret policies differently, or simply be more or less diligent about enforcing them. But Apple has always said that the notification center is intended for information display, and it follows that having a bunch of apps use widgets that provide buttons to launch the app is in violation of the intention of the notification center. Apple should be consistent here, but I would not fault them for choosing to tell all apps (such as Evernote) that they need to remove similar buttons, rather than allowing Drafts to keep its button.
