  There’s a wide range of reactions that are not douchey while being both honest and on topic.

      Rather than giving an entire unsolicited peer review, I would just mention there were issues with the paper and offer a full peer review if he’s interested. It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.

      Now, if that happened, or if Terrence sent the paper and asked for a full peer review, I would take back my comment. But based on this video, it didn’t feel like that’s what happened.

        Talking about it hypothetically is a cop out.

        It’s clear from the paper that Terence has no idea what the process of a peer review is, so maybe start by educating him on that.

        By assuming he doesn’t know what peer review is (something anyone can google) you have guaranteed that someone will find your response douchey. By not giving a peer review you have also been dismissive.
