Latest review

First review round: 12.1 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
One reviewer suggested minor revision without much advice. Another reviewer didn't have any constructive suggestions either but just stated that he/she didn't agree with the data, without giving a solid reason. Actually this reviewer misunderstood the data and the analysis, and some put some statements in an obviously wrong way. Unfortunately, the editor lacked the expertise to assess those reviewer comments and simply rejected the paper.
