I had no idea you were so interested in the microbiology of complex ecosystems, but now you have the short explanation. Meanwhile, my posts were about normal peer review on normal scientific papers as opposed to a subject that is highly politicized and worth trillions to SOME people.
Do not give me to much credit I had heard the term but had to look it up to refresh myself. In my previous life I worked for the Bell System during deregulation (1983) I had been involved with consumer products for DIY, phones, answering machines, telephone jacks although simple, instructions had to be dumbed down to eighth grade reading levels. In other words I don’t use compound or unusual words usually.
