as a general observation unrelated both to this draft and to this 
suggestion, at this stage of the ID process, it's often easier to update 
drafts with reviewers' suggestions even if authors don't feel that the 
suggestions are useful or particularly appropriate.

This is a human nature thing: you just want the draft off your to-do 
list and anything which slows this up, like minor quibbles, are easiest 
to deal with by just agreeing with a silent "meh, whatevs".

This also isn't a criticism of reviewers, whose thankless but critically 
important job is usually done to a very high standard, and is made more 
difficult by having to review content in areas which aren't necessarily 
their specialty.

I don't have a solution to this, but it's worth noting that it happens.
