Let's say that the editor receives three reviews, one from a well-known researcher in the field of the manuscript topic, one from a random professor, and one form a PhD candidate. Will the editor prioritize the "higher ranks" reviews and give the lowest value to the PhD candidate?
Or does the editor try to be completely unaffected by the reviewers background?
I have found one answer here that sometimes they might decide based on the reviewer's background but does sometimes=almost always? :D

Yes, I think different reviewers are treated differently by editors :)
