In a recent manuscript, now under revision, Reviewer 2 suggested to provide more detail on the already published and cited reference method used — well here we go (again): Too detailed? I will be asked to shorten and be more concise; too concise? I will be asked to expand.
Middle ground seems to be hard to find — or rather seems to be a function of how willing Reviewers are to look up cited literature.
I’d rather go with short, sweet and properly cited — at least next time, when I will be Reviewer 2 😉
