Thanks Peter for your perspective. I appreciate that. I think the main question here is that some feel certain reviews were not given a fair shake, so they didn’t inform the process to begin with. How is the reviewer being a thorough observer when objections are not outright written off? Authors are not asked to reply, etc? Of course this is a subjective observation of mine, but it has been at the heart of this contention. But in general, yes, it is a position of trust and I understand the reasoning behind it. Maybe this is the nature of the review process and I am uninformed in my expectations, so I’ll defer to you judgement. Claudio.
