That's insane. If someone's student were working on a problem I'd written about, I'd want the peer reviewer to share at least some of my thoughts with them. I suspect that it comes from the insane paranoia about getting "scooped" that all academics are forced to have in virtue of hiring/promotions/tenure being tied to publications, and publications being tied to "novelty." The way the system is organized is actively hostile to collective problem solving and knowledge sharing.
Me too!!! Make it so we don’t survive based on publications and “being first.” There should be exactly 0 expectation of confidentiality when it comes to research, the whole fucking point is for this shit to be public knowledge so other people can base their own research on the foundation you’ve added to.
