You might be interested in James Hoffman's opinion of the paper, a coffee wonk who has been using the RDT for a long time, but found a lot to learn from the paper:
Eh, most journals are mostly digital nowadays, it isn’t as if they are going to run out of room.
The methods might be interesting, and if nothing else it seems like accessible material. If it is well written it could be a nice quirky paper to stick in a senior year undergrad course…
And, that people already do it doesn’t mean it is unpublishable. It is good to figure out why common behaviors work.
I know people who have done this for years.
