The response needs to be more subtle IMO. Try this:
Q: "My question is, how does an author figure out if rejections are due to: agent not interested in novellas (word count), weak query, manuscript has a weak opening, weak writing, silly premise, etc, or that the project is altogether unsellable?"

I LOVE the slushmonster. And I hear he gets along very well with sharks ;-)
(Seriously, it's a symbiotic relationship. He eats the letters, the shark eats the writers. I'm not sure where the octopus fits in, though.)
Don't forget my Herpet-American assssistant also.
We would never forget your faithful assssssissssstant!
This slush monster always gets an "awww!" from me :).
Yipes... so embarrassing. I thought your assistant was a stray tentacle. :-D
The slush monster makes me smile, but the list of Things Not To Send in Slush Ever Again makes me laught out loud EVERY TIME.
I read that blog about how to interpret "Not for me thanks."
However, it failed to interpret a "not for me thanks" written by an agent on toilet paper in their own blood.
I guess my paper didn't have the right watermark.
