Reply to the comment on "Frame-dragging: meaning, myths, and misconceptions" by A. Deriglazov

Abstract
It has been claimed in [arXiv:2110.09522] that the expression for the Sagnac coordinate time delay given in [arXiv:2109.14641] "differs from the standard interpretation described in the book by Landau-Lifshitz (LL)". We note that: 1) the Sagnac effect is not even discussed in LL; 2) the expression in [arXiv:2109.14641] is standard, given in countless papers and even textbooks; 3) the expression by LL quoted by the author consists of the (infinitesimal) two-way trip travel time for a light signal, which the author confuses with the Sagnac time delay (when they are actually very different things); 4) such confusion would negate the existence, both in special and general relativity, of the well-known and experimentally tested Sagnac effect; 5) the claims that it sheds doubt in any of the assertions made in [arXiv:2109.14641] are completely unfounded.
