Just did exactly that in a recently accepted paper. A comments from a reviewer made us notice that a certain phenomenon was greatly exaggerated by low-res theoretical calculations and that it actually was barely noticeable. I just added “weakly” to the paragraph describing that phenomenon. Won’t delete shit.

Agreed. Not much more expensive than a VPS and saves you a lot of headaches.
