Trivedi's attempted disproof of presolar grains as carriers of special /sup 129/Xe* in meteorites is rejected on three grounds: (1) the high-T losses of /sup 129/Xe* and /sup 127/I are tightly correlated, (2) the sharply isochronous meteorites are partially differentiated but not truly metamorphosed, and (3) evidence that much of solar /sup 129/Xe was trapped in presolar grains has strengthened the plausibility of the presolar-grain picture.
