Latest review

First review round: 26.0 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
We went through an intensive review process, which greatly improved the manuscript. In the end, we were still rejected, and although the authors disagreed with the main point of the reviewer that suggested rejection, it was a careful and thought-out review. We also appreciated the input and care from the editor, who in the first round of reviews gave detailed and productive comments, after split reviews, and in the last round of review, gave a proper justification for rejection.
