Reply to comment by B. Andreotti et al. on ‘‘Solving the mystery of booming sand dunes’’
[1] This reply addresses three main issues raised in the comment of Andreotti et al. [2008]. First, the turning of ray paths in a granular material does not preclude the propagation of body waves and the resonance condition described by Vriend et al. [2007]. The waveguide model still holds in the dune for the observed velocities, even with a velocity increase with depth as implied by Andreotti ...
متن کاملReply to Schooler: Consistent Is Not Conclusive.
In this reply, I address the major issues raised by Schooler in his commentary on my article. Although we probably disagree about some points, I suspect that we are in agreement that there is empirical evidence that can be interpreted as being consistent with some aspects of the mental-exercise hypothesis. However, from my perspective, the available evidence is far from conclusive with respect ...
متن کاملReply to Skoyles: Misplaced assumptions of perfect human prosociality
In his letter (1), the author argues against prosocial tendencies in chimpanzees because the chimpanzees in our study (2) failed to select the prosocial option all of the time. Instead, he suggests that they show evidence for “mean-spirited” motivations, because any deviation from a perfectly prosocial score must indicate purposeful withholding of benefits for the partner. However, behavioral s...
متن کاملConsistent Sets and Contrary Inferences: Reply to Griffiths and Hartle
It was pointed out recently [A. Kent, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 2874] that the consistent histories approach allows contrary inferences to be made from the same data, corresponding to commuting orthogonal projections in different consistent sets. To many, this seems undesirable in a theory of physical inferences. It also raises a specific problem for the consistent histories formalism, since t...
متن کاملReply to Hilborn: Role of marine reserves depends on assumptions.
We appreciate the points made by Hilborn (1) that changing the assumptions we made could lead to different conclusions. In fact, our overall goal in developing the model in ref. 2 was similar to the goal in developing the model in ref. 3 to indicate how a model with clear assumptions would shed light on the role played by marine protected areas in spatial fishery management. Here we make three ...
