Abstract: Carrubba, Yuen, & Zorn (2007) claims that
comparative statics analysis, in combination with one of three
statistical estimators, provides a simpler alternative to
methods previously presented in my research. I demonstrate that
this claim is false. When examined closely, the procedure
proposed in CYZ is no simpler for the substantive researcher
than anything I have previously recommended. Moreover, the
estimators CYZ proposes are not "alternatives" to methods I have
proposed -- they are exactly the same methods I have previously
recommended. Other points raised in CYZ are similarly clarified.
