Latest review

First review round: 19.6 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
We got three reviews who engaged with the manuscript. Two liked it in principle but suggested clarifications. One reads like (even on re-reading) that they are determined to destroy the paper. It's baffling because the reviewer flags several things where they are actually wrong. Given this very negative review, the editor had no choice and had to reject the paper. Could have been a bit faster overall.
