  To comply with the critique of the Comment [J. Arrington, arXiv:1602.01461],
we consider another modification of the proton electric form factor, which
resolves the "proton-radius puzzle". The proposed modification satisfies all
the consistency criteria put forward in the Comment, and yet has a similar
impact on the puzzle as that of the original paper. Contrary to the concluding
statement of the Comment, it is not difficult to find an ad hoc modification of
the form factor at low $Q$ that resolves the discrepancy and is consistent with
analyticity constraints. We emphasize once again that we do not consider such
an ad hoc modification of the proton form factor to be a solution of the puzzle
until a physical mechanism for it is found.
