  The author of the comment promotes a brush-like IVC, which is claimed to be
free of self-heating. I will show that this claim lacks substantiation as the
IVC is definitely not free from heating and that the self-heating cause of
IVC-2 is indirectly admitted by the author of the comment. I will further show
that the data selected for this comment in fact provide additional experimental
evidence in favour of the major conclusions by the commented article in
particular of the extrinsic cause of the key findings by intrinsic tunnelling
spectroscopy.
