It’s not “flippantly” - the reviewer’s opinion is there, and the whole message is just a “get your shit together”, but in a more polite and ironical form. It’s not an official or final review yet, but if I would receive it, I’d get the idea of what happens when the paper is officialy submitted.

I don’t know, the line “at this rate, the only original part of this thesis is your name” implies the issue is not just failing to cite sources, but having no original thoughts or contributions - maybe it’s exaggeration for humor’s sake, but I definitely did not read this as simply forgetting to cite sources.
