In Phys. Fluids 19, 118105 (2007) , I. Lunati disputes my earlier paper [ Phys. Fluids 18, 047102 (2006) ], in which I pointed out an anomaly arising from Thomas Young’s concept of solid/fluid surface tension. The present article examines Lunati’s reasoning and concludes that my earlier paper is correct.
