  In a recent preprint by Tsang and Danielewicz, the authors attempt to give
alternative or trivial explanations for the reducible and "thermal" nature of
the intermediate mass fragment excitation functions reported previously (Phys.
Rev. Lett. 74, 1530 (1995), Phys. Lett B 361, 25 (1995), Phys. Rep. 287, 249
(1997)). We demonstrate that their proposed "self-correlation" explanation for
linear Arrhenius plots is based upon a flawed autocorrelation analysis
involving circular reasoning.
