Schwarzschild replies: We thank the letter writers for pointing out these useful details. To make the story’s figure less crowded and thus more accessible to nonexpert readers, we retained from the COUPP collaboration’s original figure only those experimental limits from earlier null results that were not superseded at all putative WIMP masses by the COUPP results we were reporting. In a news story, we generally cannot provide a comprehensive review of the background.
