The alternating support for and denial of a glass transition for amorphous water at 136 K has resumed after a hiatus of 20 years, during which it seemed secure.

Description
Summary:The alternating support for and denial of a glass transition for amorphous water at 136 K has resumed after a hiatus of 20 years, during which it seemed secure.

We show here that their results are also consistent with our conclusions.
