The editor in chief at one stage was an old timer who was particularly pig headed and oafish when it came to who was published or not....this was back in the 70's to mid 90's. Some old fart from Oxford or Cambridge Uni, he was.

I guess in a perfect world it would be good if all papers could be pulished in any suitable journal Carl, but the reality is that top flight journals like NEJM, Nature, etc really can afford to pick and choose what they publish - because they're the best.
