Abstract

Tsallis' pioneer q-probability distribution Pi=[1+β(1q)Ui]1q1ZP_i=\frac {[1+\beta(1-q)U_i]^{\frac {1} {q-1}}} {Z}, Z=i=1n[1+β(1q)Ui]1q1Z=\sum\limits_{i=1}^n [1+\beta(1-q)U_i]^{\frac {1} {q-1}} [J. of Stat. Phys., {\bf 52} (1988) 479] has been recently attacked in arXiv:1705.01752, in a Reply to our arXiv:1704.07493 publication. We show here that such an attack is groundless.
