Ref: A/463696/COM/28089 Dear Dr Parrott TITLE: Calculational error in the Corrigendum to Dressel and Jordan's "Sufficient conditions for uniqueness of the weak value" AUTHORS: Dr S Parrott Your comment submitted to Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical has now been considered by the Editorial Board and the Board Member's report is attached. I am sorry to tell you that the Board Member has recommended that your comment should not be published in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, for the reasons given in the enclosed report. Your comment has therefore been withdrawn from consideration. I would like to thank you for your interest in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical.

My view is that it is not necessary for J Phys A to consider this Comment in detail. The author has already made claims about errors in the paper by Dressel and Jordan and their Corrigendum in a series of versions of the comment posted on the arXiv. It is for the readers interested in this area of activity to read this material and make their own decision. If the author can make sufficient progress on the validity (or not) of the "general theorem" then the best course of action would be to write a regular paper on this contentious issue, which would be more than welcome for further consideration. ************************************************************************ This email (and attachments) are confidential and intended for the addressee(s) only.
