Latest review

First review round: 3.7 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Very smooth and prompt review process. Reviewers were thorough and seemed attentive to the details and message conveyed to the readers. The last round of reviews took a day to be addressed because I made a single word change that may or may not have been considered important. As an author, I feel like that unnecessarily delayed the process for two weeks. Small complaint, but should be noted.
