tl;dr "trashy people eat this food, which makes this food trashy, and if I then eat that food, I will become trashy myself" is a social opinion (a shitty one), not a scientific opinion, but people will never stop trying to use nutritional terminology to legitimize their shitty social opinions

The ideal of major revision is: this paper is not yet worthy of publication, but with a revision it would be.

What many major revisions actually are: this paper is publishable, but I would prefer it to be different, so I'll demand they do that.

I presume you're talking about when we do math and pretend it's philosophy.
