I reply to the comment by Weinhold and Glendening on the article ( J. Comput. Chem . 2021 , 42 , 412). I provide further explanation and an additional numerical example to support my previous assertion that the present form of natural resonance theory is fundamentally flawed, at least within the DFT framework.
