  In Nakar & Piran (2004) we have shown that a large fraction of BATSE bursts
cannot satisfy the Amati relation between the isotropic energy - peak energy of
GRBs. Our results have been corroborated by a further analysis carried out by
Band and Preece (2005). Recently Ghirlanda et al. (2005) claimed that when the
exact distribution of the scatter around the Amati relation is taken into
account, the BATSE sample is consistent with the Amati relation. We show that
the probability that the BATSE sample is consistent with the Amati relation
(including the scattering), as found by Ghirlanda et al. (2005) for a sample of
23 bursts with known redshift, is vanishingly small.
