Laymen's summary on Twitter and Reddit for those who want to know what I actually did.
True story, this is one of the chapters from my PhD thesis, and it took a long time to get it published due to a really delayed referee report. Normally you get it like 1-2 months in, and then finally like four months after submission I get it... and the referee just says "this paper will be of significant interest" and I have to edit like one sentence and one caption, and it's accepted within hours of my less than an hour of extra work. To be clear this basically never happens, and it's all downhill from here on referee reports for me.
But hey, always nice to get another one out of your hair!
