  In the authors' previous works, novel finite element formulations for the
contact interaction of slender beams have been proposed. In their recent
article "Consistent Development of a Beam-To-Beam Contact Algorithm via the
Curve to Solid Beam Contact - Analysis for the Non-Frictional Case", Konyukhov
et al. refer extensively to the aforementioned works by the authors. However,
many of these statements turn out to be scientifically incorrect and not only
question the quality and correctness of the authors' previous works in a way
that is neither objective nor justified but also might cause quite some
confusion to researchers in this field. Hence, the authors find it necessary to
comment on these statements, disprove them if incorrect, and demonstrate the
correctness of the derivations made in their previous works.
