Latest review

Outcome: Rejected (im.).

Motivation:
It was disappointing that the editor rejected the applied work based on something directly addressed in the associated (published) methods paper. I suppose this illustrates that not all editors of this journal keep abridged of the state of the literature, and take shortcuts to reduce their workload.
