\item In \citet{2013PhRvE..87d2723R} page 5, it is claimed that motion will be a superposition of longitudinal and transverse. Is this true -- won't one of them be unstable (in the case where work done in dragging is less than $T$, say)?  \item In \citet{2013PhRvE..87d2723R} page 5, second column, Payam uses dimensional analysis to justify a steady state approximation used in the paper: the time taken to establish the fluid velocity profile around a section of DNA must be much shorter than the time taken the DNA to move its own length. length.\newline  Try to do a better job than scaling argument: what are the coefficients? The fact that in the other paper they are off by some distance might be to do with this. \begin{itemize}  \item I think $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell/c_{\rm s}$ on physical grounds, but Payam says $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell^2\rho/\eta$ from dimensional analysis. Are these compatible?  %
