Latest review

Outcome: Rejected (im.).

Motivation:
Somewhat long for a desk reject. Although reasonable given the current policy of having at least two editors review every paper (both must agree with the decision). The editors were kind and, unexpectedly, provided me with thoughtful feedback on the manuscript.
