Abstract
In his letter [Phys. Usp.
63 97 (2020); Usp. Fiz. Nauk
190 107 (2020)] Shmatov expresses a high opinion of the experimental part of Shabanov’s paper [Phys. Usp.
62 92 (2019); Usp. Fiz. Nauk
189 95 (2019)] but presents some critical remarks on the theoretical character. We show in this reply that these remarks are based on a misunderstanding related to an excessively unambiguous treatment of elementary physical laws ignoring the possible variety of their manifestations under particular conditions.
