Abstract
We point out that the disagreement between the paper by Neukirch and Starostin (Ref.[1]) and ours (Ref. [5]) is only apparent and stems from a difference in approach. Ref. [1] is concerned with classical elasticity and individual curves while Ref. [5] focuses on statistical averages over curves.
