Discussion of "Z-Bus loss allocation" [and closure]

The authors comment upon the original paper ("Z-Bus loss allocation", A. J. Conejo et al., see ibid., vol. 16, p. 105-110, 2001), arguing that all allocation proposals result from mathematical manipulations/simplifications and, consequently, are arguable. For completeness, they add their desirable features for an allocation scheme to be acceptable. The original authors' responses to these comments are also presented.
