The criticisms by Barker and Marlborough (BM, 1982) concerning the model of Weber and Davis (WD, 1967) for the flow of a magnetically coupled wind from a rotating star are critically examined and the assumptions inherent to both approaches are compared. It is shown that when differences in the respective definitions of the stellar angular velocity are reconciled, the extended theory proposed by BM is equivalent to the original description of WD. In addition, the conditions under which the azimuthal velocity of a WD-type solar wind initial decreases outward from the surface of the star are determined and it is shown that such behavior is in no way contingent upon the modifications proposed by BM.
