TL;DR
This paper critiques Sutter et al.'s cosmic void catalogue, highlighting inaccuracies in their response to previous criticisms and emphasizing the need for accurate void identification in galaxy surveys.
Contribution
It clarifies errors in Sutter et al.'s response and underscores the importance of precise void catalogues for cosmological studies.
Findings
Sutter et al.'s response contains inaccuracies.
The authors' alternative void catalogue addresses previous criticisms.
Highlighting the importance of accurate void identification.
Abstract
Sutter et al. have responded to the criticisms we made of their cosmic void catalogue in our recent paper presenting an alternative catalogue (Nadathur & Hotchkiss 2013). Unfortunately, their response contains several statements which are incorrect, as we point out in this note.
