Motivation:
Reviewers gave some really brainless comments. The journal asks authors to submit a Word document, and one reviewer edited the text to put questions inside the main text, not as a comment (so annoying). One reviewer took it upon themselves to reword a paragraph, and their writing was absolutely terrible. One reviewer wanted to know the molecular weight of the Tris I used because some of them have different molecular weights, apparently, and the molecular weight on my bottle of Tris matched the molecular weight of Tris on Wikipedia, Sigma, etc. So either these reviewers are buying sketchy reagents or have never actually stepped foot into a lab before. Every comment was easily addressable, but more than half were a waste of time due to the reviewers' incompetence and poor understanding of the English language.
