Both reviewers note that this manuscript is an interesting and important contribution to the literature and I concur with this assessment.

At this time I instruct the authors to move forward with their proposed changes. I agree with Reviewer #2 (as do the authors) that the manuscript can be shortened and clarified. I appreciate Reviewer #2 providing two useful options to improve the manuscript and agree with authors' response to shorten and clarify versus expand.

After the revisions are made, I would like to review the manuscript before publication to ensure that Reviewer #2's comments in particular have been addressed. As there are not substantial technical revisions needed, I have recommended publication after a review by the Editor, assuming that the proposed revisions are incorporated satisfactorily.

I thank the authors for their revisions. The paper is considered accepted at this time; however, I would ask the authors to consider the following further revisions:

- I do not think that italicizing and capitalizing the words Full, Simplified, and Optimized are necessary. I also found at least one place in the text where Simplified was not italicized (Section 2.3, Third Sentence).

- The figures should be as stand-alone as possible. I encourage the authors to define abbreviated terms and variables shown in the figure explanations.

I wish the authors my best in this and their future research.

Kindly,
Stacey
