We agree with the reviewer that some of the choices currently enforced in the PyKED package and
the ChemKED schema do not lend themselves to easy informal use. We presently recommend that
users who wish to use ChemKED files in this way include an incomplete reference field since the
only required subfields of the reference field are the authors and the year.

In addition, there is a \verb|skip_validation| argument to the \verb|ChemKED| class constructor.
This option turns off all of the validation, including the validation of the reference material
and enforcement of required fields. We recognize that this is a limitation at present, if users
wish to, for example, validate that their units are correct but do not wish to validate some
other aspect of the file. Work is ongoing to improve this situation, and discussion is contained
in a public issue on GitHub: \url{https://github.com/pr-omethe-us/PyKED/issues/39}
