I wonder if the reviewer will have the courage of their convictions to come forward and name themselves? And the question we all have to ask ourselves is this: is that reviewer in my department, in the office down the corridor? We still have a long way to go people.
Double-blind reviewing is not “perfect”, but this sickening case only strengthens the argument for it.
