Not everyone can learn visually, because some people have an inability to visualize things in their head at all: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia. I prefer to listen to a lecture over taking notes, but find that young people prefer watching videos to reading. So I would say that research on learning styles is, at best, incomplete. | |

| Mar 3, 2020 at 16:44 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | “perhaps the reviewer is more of a visual learner than you are” — They’re not: the theory of different types of learners is nowadays widely regarded as disproved. Rest of the answer is spot-on. | |

As an author, you want to make the paper accessible to more people but don't want to make it so simple that is boring and tedious to go through. Do what you think you should do. Also sometimes reviewer just want to assert their opinion although they might make no sense. | |

| Mar 2, 2020 at 17:59 | comment | added | Snijderfrey | Yes, completely correct. It is good if you are able to draw the right conclusions from the mathematical expressions. However, in my field, people tend to follow a 'visualize before you analyze' approach, and this would be my general advice (which obviously might be of little help for your specific case). | |
