The RIKEN data on the Coulomb Dissociation (CD) of 8B were shown to be ingood agreement with the Direct Capture (DC) data on the 7Be(p,g)8B reaction(that were known at that time) of Filippone {\em et al.} Yet recently it wasclaimed that the RIKEN2 CD data must be corrected in order to be reconciledwith the slope of DC data. Considering the (correct) so called scaleindependent b-slope parameter of the RIKEN2 CD data, the resultant correctedb-slope parameter suggested by Esbensen, Bertsch and Snover is shown to beconsiderably smaller than the so called average b-slope parameter of DC data.The suggested corrections of the b-slope parameter lead to a large disagreementwith DC data, in sharp contrast to the claim. The slope corrections are onlysignificant for the RIKEN2 CD data. For the GSI kinematics, where in fact onemay observe slope different than for DC (at least for the GSI1 data), they finda fortuitous cancellation that leads to a vanishingly small slope correction.Hence the validity of these correction based on the observed slopes can not besubstantiated.Comment: Work Supported by USDOE Grant No. DE-FG02-94ER40870.
