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.
