Dear Dror,

This message concerns the manuscript

   A Fast, Strong, Topologically Meaningful and Fun Knot Invariant
   by Dror Bar-Natan and Roland van der Veen

submitted to the Journal of the American Mathematical Society.  Unfortunately we can't
accept it.  I asked a few experts and while people found it an interesting and likely to be
impactful paper, they didn't recommend it for JAMS - because powerful as the invariant is,
it's significance for topological problems is mostly conjectural.

Best wishes (and I wish I had better news)
