We have reached Peak Reviewer 2. This is a genuine review of our paper on food poverty and mental health in children and young people. MINDSPONGE THEORY

I am disappointed to see that the reviewer has made no connection to Seldon's psycho-history theorems. Ah well.

I wonder if there are any subtle clues as to who Reviewer 2 might be..? 🤔

Looks AI.

Is there a new Chris Morris show in the offing?

These are the easiest to respond to: "We did not find mindsponge theory to be relevant to our manuscript."

Wow. That requires an email to the handling editor to tell them that reviewer is bonkers

LLM reviews wooooooo

Mindsponge? Didn't they support Spinal Tap?? Looks to be a collection of familiar ideas in social cognitive (social learning, dissonance, social identity). Not clear what it adds other than a fabulous name.
