  In their Letter, Haziot et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 (2013) 035301] report a
novel phenomenon of giant plasticity for hcp Helium-4 quantum crystals. They
assert that Helium-4 exhibits mechanical properties not found in classical
plasticity theory. Specifically, they examine high-quality crystals as a
function of temperature and applied strain, where the shear modulus reaches a
plateau and dissipation becomes close to zero; both quantities are reported to
be independent of stress and strain, implying a reversible dissipation process
and quantum tunneling. In this Comment, we show that these signatures can be
explained with a classical model of thermally activated dislocation glide
without the need to invoke quantum tunneling or dissipationless motion.
Recently, we proposed a dislocation glide model in solid Helium-4 containing
the dissipation contribution in the presence of other dislocations with
qualitatively similar behavior [Zhou et al., Philos. Mag. Lett. 92 (2012) 608].
