\begin{enumerate}  \item I want to try to do a better job than Payam's scaling argument: what are the coefficients in the ``$\# \ll 1$'' relationship? This might be interesting because of a problem acknowledged in Payam's other paper: his predictions do not fit the experimental data.  \item Dimensional analysis argument not fully understood: I think guessed  $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell/c_{\rm s}$ on physical grounds, but Payam says $t_{\rm h}\sim \ell^2\rho/\eta$ from dimensional analysis. What is the interpretation of Payam's $t_{\rm h}$?Are the two compatible?  %  \begin{itemize}  \item The two $t_{\rm h}$s are measuring different things. Payam's $t_{\rm h}$ is considering the {\it diffusion }of a particle's momentum: the characteristic time in the velocity autocorrelation. My $t_{\rm h}$ is about information flow via sonic waves: this is much smaller than the vorticity time-scale.\\
