Asking for the review notes is one thing, it seems like the main demand Jeff refused was giving the names of every reviewer. Why would the names of the reviewers be relevant to the academic, unless they specifically wanted to use the reviewers identity in order to undermine the notes?

I'm not sure it's the same thing, or that management should expect to be able to roadblock publication at the last minute without working with the authors directly.
