Non-advice on Reviewing: Freeman Dyson (famous physisist) said that whenever he came across a paper that seemed interesting but he couldn't understand it, he recommended it to be published.

Now, I personally disagree with this approach! If you disagree too, let's build a coalition to fight the advance of useless formalization masquerading as "real science"!
