14. In addition to the flawed premise upon which their work is based, there is a mathematical mistake in their derivation [Eq. (8) in the latter paper] that renders their transformation equation incorrect in any case. C. Michaelsen, M. Dahms, and M. Pfuff [Phys. Rev. B 53, 11t877 (1996)] have noted that the transformed volume fraction, given by that equation, does not converge to 1 as time goes to infinity.
15. This argument was made originally by P. Hertz [Math. Ann. 67, 387 (1909)], and more recently by S. Chandrasekhar [Rev. Mod. Phys. 15, 1 (1943)].
