  It has been recently argued that the Lorentz force is incompatible with
Special Relativity and should be amended in the presence of magnetization and
polarization in order to avoid a paradox involving a magnet in the presence of
an electric field. Here we stress the well-known fact among relativists that
such an incompatibility is simply impossible and show that the appearance of
such a "paradox" is a mere consequence of not fully considering the
relativistic consequences of the covariant form of the Lorentz force. It should
be mentioned, though, that this criticism does not invalidate the debate on
which is the law of force followed by Nature, which is an experimental issue.
