Reviewer 2 Report

This is an excellent, very well written paper . It expresses a complex idea cogently and with academic authority backed up with well chosen references.

It tackles an important, overlooked  idea with skill, sensitivity and demonstrates respect for the reader . The next step would be to consider what training would look like and how it could be integrated.  It demonstrates  serious thought and consideration which is expressed with clarity. intelligence and writing skill.  Highly recommended. Would that all academic writng was of this calibre. An outstanding paper.
