I took a call today with Adrian Price-Whelan in which we discussed the very constructive, useful referee report we received for our orbital torus imaging paper. I don't know if it is just me, but I think refereeing in astrophysics has generally become more constructive over the years. More about improving the literature and less about gatekeeping it. The referee's most challenging comments are about testing our assumptions, and understanding how the anomalies we find in that paper trace back to violations of our assumptions. That's science right there.
