Clarifies the theoretical foundations of mass dimension one fields.

Reinforces the validity of these fields in quantum theory.

Abstract

In a recent article published in EPJC, Moshe Chaichian and colleagues have presented an overarching critique of mass dimension one fields and related matters. In this Letter we show without ambiguity where these authors go wrong.
