  text: 'In their Letter, Schreck, Bertrand, O''Hern and Shattuck [Phys. Rev. Lett.
    107, 078301 (2011)] study nonlinearities in jammed particulate systems that arise
    when contacts are altered. They conclude that there is "no harmonic regime in
    the large system limit for all compressions" and "at jamming onset for any system
    size." Their argument rests on the claim that for finite-range repulsive potentials,
    of the form used in studies of jamming, the breaking or forming of a single contact
    is sufficient to destroy the linear regime. We dispute these conclusions and argue
    that linear response is both justified and essential for understanding the nature
    of the jammed solid. '
