Contributions
The project was organized and written by N.D.R. J.J.E. re-examined the binary evolution and considered the models presented including questions from N.D.R. Both authors discussed and commented on the paper. As only N.D.R. and J.J.E. were involved in this response, some authors of the original paper were not included in this Matters Arising.
