Recently [Phys. Plasmas 18, 082305 (2011)], the otherwise successful unified non-linear transport (UNLT) theory was critically examined. In a comment [Phys. Plasmas 18, 114701 (2011)], it was argued that the deviation from the original UNLT theory is marginal. Here, it is emphasized that the main point was to investigate the basic mathematical properties of the UNLT formulation by showing model approaches rather than deriving complete solutions.
