Latest review

First review round: 6.1 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The reviewers identified so-called weaknesses that were not weaknesses at all. They were easily refutable. However, the editor did not give us the chance to revise the manuscript, arguing that the weaknesses were difficult to address. It is a pity that we were not able to defend our work. I appreciate the editor for sending out the manuscript to reviewers, but I give a low score for judgment of the revisions required. The main argument against our manuscript was flawed and could be easily refuted.
