This brings up the other problem I have with adding ducks (yes, I'm anti-duck). Humans tend to fixate on the obvious - the more obvious problems you have, the more we'll fixate on them. That's great if people are just meddling, and you want to keep them occupied, but it's horrible if there might actually be flaws of consequence in your work. Given that we often tend to think we're more competent than we actually are, trying to game the review process may keep real, serious problems from being fixed. With my work, a lot of reviewers do love to hear themselves talk, but every so often they'll come back at you with really good, insightful stuff that I totally missed. I don't dare game them because I don't want to be putting out garbage. Except for CH. We totally owe her a duck.
