Latest review

First review round: 6.1 weeks. Overall rating: 0 (very bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
One of the reviewer's was completely incompetent to review this manuscript. Their comments indicated that they had no subject knowledge nor understanding of basic concepts addressed in the manuscript. The reviewer also made baseless comments about e.g. quality of the English. Such a poor quality review (the other review was positive) should not have been the basis of a rejection, especially after a revision that thoroughly and politely responded to every review comment.
