In the interest of brevity, I will summarize the points I raised and the conclusions I drew in my somewhat extended correspondence with LaFehr and Herring concerning my objections to their paper. 1) Any geologic interpretation of gravity data includes a number of assumptions. 2) Of all these assumptions, the most tenuous one is that concerning a “regional.” 3) Once assumptions have been made, the answer is only the end result of an arithmetical exercise; the conclusion has been established already. 4) In the specific case of the calculated quantity of salt in the study area in the Gulf of Mexico, many of the “facts” that had to be included in the reduction of the data are actually assumptions that, through constant repetition, are now thought of as actual knowledge. 5) The conclusion in their paper as to the quantity of salt is only one of a large family of results, though it may be in the correct magnitude.
