This claim by Gill is not believable. It took months after submission for his first comment to be published in
IEEE Access. My reply took less time than that to be published in
IEEE Access. So far, there is no word about his second comment to
IEEE Access either, which was also submitted months ago. And the worst is the case about his comment to
RSOS, which was submitted last October, over six months ago. An invited paper usually gets published within a few weeks or a month. Most likely his
RSOS comment has been rejected, as it is very unprofessionally written.
I can prove it, if you like. But anyway, never fear, things are moving again. RSOS seems to have been in crisis (Corona?) for about a year but at last, a couple of weeks ago, the reviews came in both from RSOS (7 reviews) and from IEEE (12 reviews!!!). I nearly missed them because my university mail servers sent them straight to the spam box. I think our IT personnel is also suffering from the pandemic.
The last few days I have been composing revisions. They will indeed be much more professionally written than the first versions! A lot of reviewers were very positive (on both papers), a few rather negative, a few were mainly concerned with promoting their own hobby horses. The resubmissions have been resubmitted, the waiting resumes. I also posted both on arXiv but they might take some time to pass moderation (and they might not pass it). It doesn't matter. If the papers actually get accepted, arXiv will change its tune, and it's not the only preprint server either. arXiv is getting more and more an organ for mainstream researchers only. They are less and less tolerant of work by outsiders.
I'm really happy now that RSOS and IEEE did publish Joy's papers. I think that with these Comments and Replies, the general discussion about quantum foundations is now brought to a much wider audience. Another student has been working with me on Gull's theorem and really cleared up a number of tricky points, so my work with Dilara Karakozak can now also resume. For me, this closes the book which opened when I met Joy in Oxford about ten years ago (and about a year before in or near Berlin at the German "Young Academy").
I fear that Joy has only one true supporter among all those reviewers, and that is clearly a professor from the Indian subcontinent, with whom I would love to correspond. I'm sure he is a good theoretical physicist, and he knows geometric algebra. Yet even he admits that Joy's work is blemished by poor mathematical notation and perhaps wrong mathematical terminology. His faith in Joy's work is touching.
Now I really must get back to two other projects
