The highly resolved star images (see Abstr. 56.031.032) obtained with the 4-m Kitt Peak telescope have eluded explanation by conventional theory and yet are quite consistent with alternative predictions based on a smaller value of L0. Tatarskii and Zavorotny (see the previous Abstr.) claim that conventional theory also can predict the images, but one notes that they do not actually give specific predictions to support their claim. Based on a mistaken assumption about the magnitude of rms wave-height variations, they conclude that there is no difference between a core and a bright speckle. Thus they may not recognize the enormous significance of cores to L0 ground-based tracking and imaging at infrared wavelengths.
