\textbf{[C10].} This summary repeats many of the errors discussed previously. In summary: $P_{res}$ is a wave. $P_{res} \ne 2 P^b$ during systole. $P_{exc}$ is only 'almost reflection-less' during systole and, in fact, the backward wave intensity based on excess pressure during systole is very similar in magnitude to the backward wave intensity based on the measured pressure.  \textbf{[C11].} The reservoir pressure shares some characteristics with Frank's Windkessel model (e.g. conservation of mass in the whole arterial system) but cannot be considered to be a lumped model in the sense that the Windkessel is, since Pr $P_{res}$  is seen as a propagating waveform. Probably the best A viable  theoretical description of the reservoir pressure is can be found  in Parker et al.Med. Biol. Eng. Comp.  (2012) where we defined \[  P(x,t) = P_{res}(t - \tau(x)) + P_{exc}(x,t)  \]
