Was that initial review written by an AI? Seriously, the text is grammatically correct but beyond that it is all nonsense.
Update: a friend submitted a paper to a related sigcomm conference in 2021 and the reviews were extremely unhelpful. There were so many incorrect statements from multiple reviews the he just gave up, submitted to another (higher rank) conference and got it accepted with much more useful comments.
I remember we had some serious laugh looking at reviewers who claimed they were very familiar with the subject but made a complete fool of themselves with their comments. And some of them came across as very mean-spirited, which is quite an accomplishment in a 1000 word anonymous technical statement.
I guess what I am trying to say is that ACM needs to review the reviewers at some point to improve conference quality, because some are going downhill very fast. I understand finding good reviewers is hard, but getting rid of bad ones should not be a big issue...
