And to make this more concrete, here is a re-review we just got. The editor overruled this negative reviewer, who here is *lecturing us on the ethos of the journal*.

![Screenshot of text reading: "The original review had noted that "Mechanistic basis of how cells differentiate between [XXX and YYY] will be needed." However, rather than identifying a mechanism, the authors argue that "the mechanisms of both [XXX and YYY] are of great interest, and of little consequence to the claims—causal and otherwise—that we make". The mechanistic basis of cellular phenomena is the ethos of [ZZZ] as a journal as far as I understand, and it is disappointing that the authors regard the mechanisms to be inconsequential."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:deufzypwwulzfvbgycug33dw/bafkreih45yxirmr2ga75usbt35ujkk7lcs6vz3hzzw5uy754jpya266j3m@jpeg)
