@SamBC It offers you to migrate to the meta site, but you can choose the last reason which is "in need of moderator attention" and then mention the site you think the question belongs on.
@SamBC ...they probably don't. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. If there's actual evidence they're doing that, you can alert the mods (flag the comment where you think the described behavior is evident, and tell them exactly what you think is going on).
If it's Lambie, they're really just trying to help but they're also very stubborn and it's unlikely anything you say will change their opinion. Their word will always be last.
In an earlier question "You're taller than (is/are) described", there came up this issue of whether 'it' could be inserted as follows:

@SamBC we don’t have migration paths set up to any other site, so a moderator would have to migrate it. You could leave a comment suggesting the other site and then vote to close. Keep in mind that we should only migrate good quality questions.

What is the meaning of could be reproduced? "They have probably been reproduced, but we are not sure"?

@CowperKettle The data collected by the other study could be analyzed to support a hypothesis that it originally didn’t test for, but it seems strange without more context
Doh I really should scan all recent msgs before I start replying
@CowperKettle To me it just means "they reproduced it".
Weird? I dunno. When people start typing out a thesis they drown in a sea of overly complicated words so you'd think it'd twist their idea of weirdness. And reality.
