Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The topic of the manuscript is fresh and refreshing. Although at times monotonous, a lot of new information is being provided that is ably supported by citing literature. I suggest acceptance of the article in its current form.

Author Response

Thank you for recommending acceptance, we appreciate this positive feedback.

Reviewer 2 Report

The MS touches upon a critical question about the relationship between ILK and traditional science. It is very well written and quite logical. I don't have any major concerns. The only minor comment is that the conclusion section seems to lack discussions around the suggestions for engaging with ILK. I believe this could potentially be an important take-home message that will inform readers of how to treat ILK rigorously. I recommend the authors give more highlights on their recommendations in the revision. 

Author Response

We have added a summarising paragraph to the Conclusions to address the suggestion to add "discussions around the suggestions for engaging with ILK."  Thank you for the positive view of the paper.

Reviewer 3 Report

See the attachment for some detailed corrections. 

In some areas, the text is written with different fonts. 

A challenging paper! Congratulations!
