10. The second order transition discussed by T. Vojta, D. Belitz, R. Narayanan, and T.R. Kirkpatrick, Z. Phys. B 103, 451 (1997) was based on the assumption, for which there is no calculational evidence, that higher orders in perturbation theory reverse the sign of the (Formula presented) term. The resulting second order transition is in a different universality class from the one derived in the present paper, and has exponents different from the observed ones
