Question 4:
Why was Dr. Z disappointed in WT Gowers?

Answer 4:
He abdicated his [implicit] moral responsibility to integrity, objectivity and fairness, by, following a perfunctory, half-hearted, expression of disapproval of the "unacceptances", he went on a tirade against Hill's paper itself, completely trashing it, and stating that it "should not have been accepted in the first place".
Gowers abused his reputation as a great mathematician to trash a paper outside his field of expertise.
