Dear authors,

Thank you for your prompt and detailed revision of the manuscript. I believe that this revised version has sufficiently addressed reviewers' concerns, and presents your results in a much clearer way.

Like the reviewers, I would be interested in seeing a similar activity carried out with a group of interpreters of varied expertise levels, but I am aware that this would be a separate experiment entirely and so I do not think it is required here. However, I would like you to expand your closing paragraph (lines 26-28). As it stands, you seem to imply that data quality is the main "unexplored" controlling factor on uncertainty, and I'd like to see a mention to some of the other interpreted-related factors that this paper does not explore (expertise, training, supervision etc).

Dear Authors,

Based on the Topical Editor's report and overall assessment of the review process, your manuscript can be accepted for publication pending the minor revisions proposed by the TE.

Many thanks for choosing Solid Earth.

Sincerely,
Federico Rossetti
