My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Not hard to guess who the reviewer was.
This is seriously poor behaviour on the part of the reviewer and the editor should have called it out.

Re: The importance of references in scientific papers
I recently sent a paper to a journal I wasn't familiar with but a colleague had mentioned it to me. I cited 8 references - it's a niche field. The editor responded that they would only send it for refereeing if I made the total number of references up to 20 (but with no suggestion that they cited a particular person). I have no idea what benefit it was to the journal to have 20 references. I withdrew the paper anyway.

Yep, editor should really be stepping in there.
