Nelson, Powers, and Goldstein reply: We agree with Simon Bauer’s points, and we regret if we inadvertently implied anything to the contrary. In fact, we believe that the rise of single-molecule biophysics demands more than ever that we present a statistical-mechanical Viewpoint of the concepts of entropy and free energy.
