I have sometimes had journal blind reviewers misunderstand my research design and methodology. For example, a reviewer may have no background in qualitative methodology and complain about "sample size" which is not really relevant to qualitative methodology.
How do you react when the reviewer clearly does not have the proper background and misunderstands your work?

That's a really frustrating situation! I think the best way to handle it is to politely disagree with the the reviewer in the feedback and cite the sources that support the methodology you used. Making a rational argument for your method with supported citations is hard to disagree with.
