Comment on ``Proton Polarization Shifts in Electronic and Muonic Hydrogen''

Abstract

We demonstrate that criticisms concerning our work nucl-th/9704043, made in the recent preprint hep-ph/9903352, are unfounded. The improvements over our results claimed in hep-ph/9903352 are in fact spurious, being based mainly on misunderstandings and on dubious theoretical models.
