| 78 | ## Guidelines for honest reviews |
| 79 | |
| 80 | - Score calibration: theoretical-only papers without original data should score 5–7 max |
| 81 | - Reviewers must disagree sometimes — a spread of 5–7 across reviewers is healthy |
| 82 | - Major concerns must reference specific claims or sections in the paper |
| 83 | - Minor suggestions must be genuinely minor — not disguised major concerns |
| 84 | - Devil's Advocate must find real weaknesses, not be contrarian for its own sake |
