Wow!

I present a model that accounts for a number of illusory grouping effects, and this reviewer presents a completely different class of illusory phenomena and insists that my model is completely irrelevant unless it can account for his class of phenomena!

Incredible!

"DHT should explain its effects .... Otherwise DHT is, to me, just one of the many models that explains a few isolated peripheral phenomena."

So? Whats the problem? If those many models were published, why shouldn't this one? Or is the reviewer saying that no model should be published until it solves the whole vision problem in its entirety?

Where do they get these reviewers?

And why are the reviewers not answerable for their stupidity?

There is something wrong with this whole process!
