It's hard to blame the reviewers on this one. When I read the paper
I don't see anything to complain about other than the typo that swapped
the bond length and angle rmsd's and the insanely low average B factor.
If Table 1 had included the real stats for this model
bond length rmsd 0.106 A
bond angle rmsd 4.44 deg
% residues disallowed ~20% (100% for residues in the ligand)
and the reviewers passed on it, then I would complain. We can argue
that reviewers should have access to more information, but these
reviewers seeing this paper would have no reason to reject it.
