Thanks a lot for the review. :)

I also wanted that but refrained considering it might not be a polite request.

No, it is just fine and clear.

No, this was a more of an intentional fallacy. I (we) wanted to check
if the participants are serious enough to explore that much and report
back that it is not doable.

Yes, your concern seem very reasonable. I never gave it a thought, so
thanks for pointing it out. We are discussing this and would link to
change it to something more productive very soon.

Thanks again for the review and now the draft looks much better. :)
