Outcome: Rejected.
Motivation:
Overly Punitive and Poorly Justified Review
While the reviewer raises some valid concerns, their approach seems excessively punitive, dismissing the paper without providing clear directions for improvement. The critique of the fractal interpretation of the data could have been better substantiated, and the rejection of the methodology should have been accompanied by specific recommendations.
If originality was the main objection, the reviewer could have suggested ways to make the study more relevant instead of outright rejecting it. As it stands, this review appears more like a subjective dismissal of the paper rather than a constructive evaluation that could lead to an improved version.
