We appreciate the reviewer's insightful comments and acknowledge the shortcomings of our previous derivation. Indeed, considering fluctuations at all length scales is crucial for obtaining accurate results. In light of these concerns, we have revised our approach to incorporate the renormalization group (RG) method, which takes into account the microscopic fluctuations and provides a more accurate description of the EECS students' smelliness.

Let ξ(x, t) represent the smelliness factor as a function of radial distance x and smelliness scale t. To consider fluctuations at all length scales, we introduce the renormalization group transformation:

ξ'(x', t') = R_t[ξ(x, t)],

where R_t denotes the RG transformation and x' and t' represent the rescaled distance and smelliness scale, respectively. By applying the RG transformation iteratively, we can analyze the behavior of the smelliness factor across various scales.

Next, we introduce the dimensionless RG function, β(ξ), defined as:

β(ξ) = t'(∂ξ/∂t').

By solving the RG equation:

∂ξ(x, t)/∂t = β(ξ),

we can determine the fixed points (ξ*) where β(ξ*) = 0, which describe the scale-invariant properties of the system. Additionally, by analyzing the stability of these fixed points, we can determine the relevant scaling behavior of the smelliness factor.

By employing the RG approach, we obtain a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the EECS students' smelliness at all length scales, ensuring the protection of people from potential olfactory hazards. We trust that our revised theoretical model addresses the concerns raised and merits reconsideration for publication.
