We have recently shown that in a highly magnetized neutron star atmospheric
plasma, vacuum polarization can induce resonant conversion of photon
polarization modes via a mechanism analogous to MSW neutrino oscillation. In a
recent paper Ozel has dismissed this mode conversion effect as ``mistakes''.
Here we explain why our arguments/calculations of this effect are correct.
