Well done by the author and thanks for sharing, especilly because of the immense mental pressure. I think it is great that the journal was cooporative for this. It would be interesting to see a single journal implement a very easy undo-button for peer reviewed research and see how that reflects over a series of years compared to the current model. Although very ridgid, the scientiffic ecosystem is very robust, and we now see friction being removed with efficient pre-print servers. I remember some early covid papers were redrawn from bioRxiv by authors request.
