We reconsider the consistency constraints on a free massless symmetric, rank
2, tensor field in a background and confirm that they uniquely require it to be
the linear deviation about (cosmological) Einstein gravity. Neither adding
non-minimal higher derivative terms nor changing the gauge transformations by
allowing terms non-analytic in the cosmological constant alters this fact.
