Ever had that moment when peer reviewers are *technically* accepting your paper but demand experiments that would require a time machine, unlimited funding, and possibly breaking several laws of physics? 🧪 That beautiful moment when you've spent three years on a project, and Reviewer #2 casually suggests "just a few more experiments" that would require another PhD's worth of work! The academic equivalent of asking someone to build a skyscraper when they've just finished a house. Every scientist knows the sacred incantation: "This is beyond the scope of my research" - the polite academic way of saying "ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!" without getting your paper rejected. It's the scientific version of "let's circle back to that" when you have absolutely zero intention of circling back.
