<p>Jaehoon, what I did was take this idea (as I interpreted it), rewrite it and place it at the beginning of the abstract as the sentence:&nbsp; "One possible reason for this continued confusion may be that researchers have not adequately considered the role of ethnic Korean involvement."&nbsp;&nbsp;This seemed to me to be a central idea of your&nbsp;work and needed to be foregrounded.&nbsp; I think that the edited version certainly can imply that the neglect of ethnic involvement&nbsp;has been purposeful.&nbsp; You might strengthen the implication by writing it&nbsp;instead&nbsp;as:&nbsp; "One possible reason for this continued confusion may be that researchers have disregarded the role of ethnic Korean involvement."&nbsp; </p>
