There is no reason to believe that the DG~Tau system represents exceptional physical conditions for jet launching. While the inclination and absorption are less favorable to observe X-ray emission very close to the star for \textbf{most} other CTTS systems, there are indications that \object{HH 154} also shows an inner, stationary X-ray component and additional emission in the knots \citep{2011A&A...530A.123S,2011ApJ...737...54B} and that the X-ray emission in the more massive Herbig Ae/Be star \object{HD 163296} is extended in the direction of the jet by a few dozen AU, too \citep{2005ApJ...628..811S,2009A&A...494.1041G,2013A&A...552A.142G}.
In \citet{2009A&A...493..579G} we showed that the soft X-ray emission close to DG~Tau can be explained by shock heating of a jet component moving with 400-500~km~s$^{-1}$. The mass flux in this component is less than $10^{-3}$ of the total mass flux in the jet or even lower if the same material is reheated in several consecutive shocks. If the density in the fast outflow is $>10^5$~cm$^{-3}$ then the cooling length of this shock is only a few AU and it would be invisible in current optical and IR observations, since it would be surrounded and outshone by the more luminous emission from more massive, but slower jet components. However, the stationary nature of the X-ray emission
