MODERATORS
That's a long lasting tradition to use "we" even in solo authored papers. I believe even Newton did this
If our knowledge is based on our forebears, it would always be we.
The 2nd referee will nonetheless tell you to get rid of all of them
The second referee once told us that our paper should not be published at all.
Eventually, it made it to the Editor's choice section of the journal
Did he say YOU shouldn't publish it or it shouldn't be published?
I suspect they were a rival of my co-author, that's why they didn't want it to be published. Or they didn't want me to be published in this journal.
The communication is happening through journal's editors, so they could not explicitly write that they don't want ME to be publish papers.
Yup, that was a requirement for most papers at my uni. We also use the plural you to show respect, even when talking to a single person.
Reject modernity, embrace tradition 😆
