Latest review

First review round: 17.4 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
I did not agree with the criticisms of the reviewer. They had a fundamental problem with the methodology, even though it has been well established elsewhere. I believe I had addressed these criticisms, including multiple citations to the approach.
