We showed in a preceding paper based on an analysis of the observed rates of apsidal motion that synchronization in early-type eclipsing binaries continues on the main sequence, and the observed synchronization times, tsyn, agree with the Zahn's theory (1977A&A....57..383Z) and are inconsistent with the shorter time-scale proposed by Tassoul (1987ApJ...322..856T, 1988ApJ...324L..71T). It follows from this that circularization in early-type binaries must also proceed in accordance with the Zahn's theory because the circularization times, tcirc, in both theories are rather tightly related to tsyn via relation tcirc~αtsyn, where α is the orbital-to-axial momentum ratio.
