Latest review

First review round: 7.3 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The manuscript was rejected because one reviewer was not satisfied with a minor comment not fully addressed in his/her opinion. The two other reviewers fully supported the publication. The editor (Dr. Molinari) seemed not to fully understand the paper and did not intervene.
