In their Correspondence, Flenner and Szamel compare the temperature dependence of an alternative dynamic length scale, ξ_4, with that of ξ^dyn, which we studied. Using computer simulations of the same system, they conclude that these two length scales have a different temperature dependence. In particular, ξ_4 does...
