A follow-up to 'Does Nature abhor a logarithm?' (and apparently she doesn't)

TL;DR

This paper discusses the leading-order correction to black hole entropy and responds to recent criticisms of previous commentary on this topic.

Contribution

It provides a clarification and defense of the leading-order correction to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy against recent criticisms.

Findings

The leading-order correction to black hole entropy is reaffirmed.

Recent criticisms of earlier work are addressed and countered.

The discussion clarifies the theoretical understanding of black hole entropy corrections.

Abstract

This letter contains a brief discussion on the leading-order canonical correction to the Bekenstein-Hawking (black hole) entropy. In particular, we address some recent criticism directed at an earlier commentary.
