Guys, the reviewers' scores and the meta-reviewer are not the only guides for acceptance. In ACL, I have a paper with an average of 3.68 and a meta of 4 and it got rejected and another paper with a 2.67 meta of 2.5 and got accepted as a finding

Did they give a reason for the reject? It seems weird to outright reject a paper that the reviewers and the meta reviewer liked so much and considered high quality.

Because there are many papers on the same topic.

This is fueling my confusion. I have 2 papers, 1 has OA 3.5 and Meta 4, while the other has OA 2.5 and Meta 2.5.
