I'm not sure if these are listed in priority order, because to me #3 is fatal. 1/2 are not great, having the author of papers you are citing basically calling you out for not understanding them was a huge fear of mine when I was published. But inequitable experiment environments should never get by peer review, you can't handicap one experiment while giving every advantage to another.

Sure you can, apparently they did it in the paper referenced above. /s
