10. In his review, the referee has stated that the interfacial coupling has to be much weaker than the domain wall energies in the antiferromagnet, otherwise domain walls will change in the antiferromagnet, negating the applicability of the calculation. The referee's caveat is true whenever a measurement of the coupling involves a large magnetization change, e.g., hysteresis loops. But other types of measurements, such as ferromagnetic resonance, may involve only infinitesimal magnetization changes, and need not necessarily alter the antiferromagnetic domain configuration during a measurement.
