Same but some of my friends i went to uni with is a moron who went on to do a PhD....

Its like having your work marked and, if they don't Iike it, they'll just say like "not clear enough" or "needs more research" and deny its publication.

I mean, what they meant was "you haven't addressed Dr Y et. al.'s critique of that particular essay's attempt at modelling the disease you're researching" but they're not just going to come out and tell you that. That would be too easy.

Every now and then I feel like I can hear them muttering some kind of highly expletive death threat at reviewer number 3.
