Ok, now on to Reviewer 1's comments. This is the reviewer who, recall REDID MY STATS FOR ME. (It's not quite that simple, but it still embodies the contrast between a picky review that pretends to be helpful, and an actually helpful review.) Even the comments are just *nice*. Like, 'I think your decision to do [x] is not useful, but it's a matter of taste, so I won't make a fuss'
Or this one!
"Perhaps, if you find it interesting, this [reference] could be mentioned in your literature review in the introduction."
I emphasize, this isn't some passive-aggressively phrased requirement. In context, it's clear that this is just a NICE comment that highlights a thing I might find helpful, but doesn't insist that I add references that aren't relevant!
