Abstract

This is a short consideration of the latest articles [{xc1}, {xc2}] criticizing works [{xc3}, {xc4}] proposed a new approach to the surface tension of condensed matter. We underline some of his obviously incorrect statements about the Gokhshtein equations and focus on misleading interpretation of Legendre transforms and especially of complete Legendre transforms. All these mistakes show that the criticism [{xc1}, {xc2}] as a whole is incorrect and unacceptable.
