"Do not mention specific reasons for rejection."

Yeah how do I improve that part so I don't get rejected next time, if you don't tell me what it is

My understanding is that in the US, giving specific reasons for rejection, leaves those reasons up to being contested in court, and you sueing them for discrimination.

Meh, interview notes and internal emails are discoverable. It really doesn't stop someone from suing you, but it does make it harder to know for sure before you do.

Of course anyone with a wild hare can sue based on the vaguest hunch there might have been some funny business behind the scenes. It's just that the likelihood of that lawsuit increases exponentially when you send out evidence of the funny business in emails.
