  With nucl-th/0407060, Jacques Raynal uses the arXiv in a way which does not
conform to standard professional practices. His posting contains many
statements that are beyond the borders of acceptable scientific disputes, with
the scope to defame colleagues by manifestly false or misleading statements. In
this comment we reject the three ``critiques'' expressed by Raynal. 1. The fact
that we possibly misquoted our references. 2. The role of the Pauli principle
in these kind of calculations. 3. The nature and limits of our coupled-channel
potential model. Raynal's postings unfairly detract from the importance of our
work, which we published in Nuclear Physics A728, 65 (2003), on a new approach,
Multi-Channel-Algebraic-Scattering (MCAS), for coupled-channel calculations.
With the MCAS approach we were able to identify systematically all low-energy
compound resonances, and to include effectively the Pauli principle in
collective, geometrical-type, macroscopic models of multichannel interaction.
This represents a clear advantage with respect to the current distribution of
the ECIS formulation.
