Latest review

First review round: 4.4 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Review rounds were speedy which I appreciate. Some reviewers were very good and others were not. The second round was a bit of a waste of time because they brought up new issues that were not raised the first time and were not related to the revisions, so that was irritating.
