Peer review scores are uncorrelated with citation count over time. So forgive me if I discard peer reviews and other anecdata.

  What the heck are peer review scores? And why would you expect it to be correlated with citation count? High quality research isn't the same thing as highly citable research. Peer review is supposed to check plausibility and maintain minimum quality standards. Peer review isn't a sign that something is good. But if something can not even get peer review it's a sure sign that it's pretty bad.

      I know that video. This is also different from pure peer review because it involves an editorial decision/recommendation. I am sure >95% of the papers rejected from NeuralIPS will pass peer review elsewhere. So this isn't about getting published in peer reviewed venues, this is about getting published in a particular, selective, high visibility venue. So as far as I can see none of this has any bearing on anything you replied to.
