I agree with a lot of this premise but this gave me pause:
>under this model, no paper is ever rejected for publication; papers just get trapped in an infinite revision loop
This could mean a viable paper never gets published. Most journals require that you only submit to one journal at a time. So if it didn’t meet criteria for whatever reason (even a bad scope fit) it would never get a chance at a better fit somewhere else).
