Of course, we'd normally say reviewer (no.) 1. I deliberately went with "review" to highlight the disembodied nature of the process. In blind peer review, the person giving feedback is mostly invisible.

I think there's some truth in your initial reading. Interdisciplinary research is often held up high, but it's quite risky and usually requires more effort.
