Matter 2009, 21, 064225. which they dismissed by a note "We believe that the results by Frantti et al. are incorrect due to some technical error". This statement is unfounded; we checked the pseudopotentials and compiled newer version of the Abinit code, carried out computations again, and found no technical or other errors. The outcome was the same as that published in ref 7.
