Sep 21, 2023 at 11:48 comment added user213769 @MartinBa fully agree. An in-depth review is better than cursory review, but a cursory review is still a lot better than no review, and more eyes on code are always better. Some people say "but why do I need a review from someone who doesn't understand the problem?" The answer is: "to see why the problem is hard to understand". Even responses about required updates/additions to in-code documentation or comments are valuable, regardless of what some people think. Non-expert reviewers are expert at finding hard-to-understand or badly-documented-and-completely-opaque stuff.
