> It’s noteworthy because it’s from Terence Tao, regarded by many as the world’s greatest living mathematician. I think it's important to post a follow-up comment clarifying that papers are reviewed following a double blind peer review process. So who the author is shouldn't be a factor. Also, the author clarified that the paper was rejected on the grounds that the reviewer felt the topic wasn't a good fit for the journal. This has nothing to do with the quality of the paper, but uploading editorial guidelines on the subject. Trying to file a document in a wrong section and being gently nudged to file under another section hardly matches the definition of a rejection that leads authors to question their life choices.
