Bottom line: it is challenging for an “outsider” to get a paper published that poses a major challenge to the status quo. Insiders are less likely to challenge the status quo, so outside challenges should be welcomed and considered carefully. Part of the challenge is for the outsider to spin up in the “culture” of the field and cite the relevant literature and use terminology and notation that is familiar to the target audience. And not to overstate the case. I think the present paper will have an easier time in the review process than its predecessor at ACPD, we shall see.
