  In the paper "Does the weak trace show the past of a quantum particle?"
[arXiv:2109.14060v2], it is argued that null weak values of the spatial
projectors are inadequate to infer the presence of a quantum particle at an
intermediate time between preparation and detection. This conclusion relies on
two arguments - (i) the role of the disturbance induced by a weak measurement,
and (ii) classical-like features like continuous paths that must purportedly be
associated with a quantum particle presence. Here we first show that (i) arises
from a misunderstanding of null weak values by putting forward a simple
counter-example that highlights that the relevant quantities to examine are the
vanishing amplitudes, not the wavefunction. Then we briefly argue that
enforcing classical pre-conditions in order to account for quantum properties
during unitary evolution is unlikely to lead to a consistent understanding of
quantum phenomena.
