Today, I found a comment from #reviewer2 that was improving our manuscript tremendously! I was a bit surprised and I asked myself which changes are needed to make #peerreview *always* helpful. Any suggestions?

Intellectuals and science people, I need your advice!
What, in your opinion, makes a research idea worth investigating? How do you recognize an idea as worthy when you hear it?

homophily explains why we connect with like-minded people. my research investigates the minimal cognitive processes supporting it.
the sampling approach and information flows are sufficient to trigger homophily and the social structure it creates (e.g., small-world network).

When navigating the social world, you look for pleasant encounters. You just "wander around" until you find a nice spot to stop. If you are looking for something specific (someone to hire or the love of your life), your search will follow drastically different dynamics!

data and materials are available!
