Always enjoy any kind of discussion with you - whether they spark papers like this one or not

I could see how this could make sense in the revision phase, if it's also clearly communicated to the reviewers, potentially bounding extensive comments and enforcing both parties to stick to the core of a project.

But why you would do this for initial submissions seems also senseless to me

😅

I totally agree. Would be great if other surveys have been in the field and I will keep my eyes open 🧐

Thanks for the input. It would have been great to do this with some other countries as well, however, the design builds on surveys being in the field at that time, which unfortunately applied only to Czechia and Uruguay. And yes, they substantially differ in their historical connection to Russia...

This argument builds heavily on the linked paper by
