How to respond

Sometimes it is not true: Preregistration just moves the effort on the timeline (prior to data collection instead of after)

Sometimes it is true: (1) 'Yes you are right, and it should not be the case' —> we should make it more easy and efficient; (2) 'You are saving time for later' does not always hold, but it might be worth it to take this extra time now (e.g. for reuse later).
