Bowyer and Ortiz, in their study ‘A Critical Examination of the IREX VI Results’, make seven criticisms of the authors application of linear mixed‐effects models to longitudinally collected iris recognition Hamming distances. We reject these as either irrelevant, misinterpretations, or qualitatively correct, but quantitatively irrelevant.
