On some erroneous comments on the literature of neutrino oscillations in the website `Neutrino Unbound' of C.Giunti

/ Abstract
A number of misleading or incorrect comments by C.Giunti on seven arXiv preprints that I have written on the theory of neutrino oscillations are discussed. The essential new features of my approach are also briefly reviewed abstract: The claim in [Field, J. H., is refuted in a pedagogical way. As shown in Reference [2] the modification proposed in this paper to the Standard Model amplitude for pion decay avoids the experimental constraint of Reference [5] demonstrating the incoherence of the production of different mass eigenstates in pion decay, but also forbids the possibility of neutrino oscillations following pion decay! The derivation of the standard oscillation phase requires, instead, coherent production of the different mass eigenstates. Since neutrino oscillations following pion decay apparently exist, the predictions of this paper are experimentally excluded, so that it cannot, in any way, ‘refute’ the results of Reference [5]. Giunti’s only comment on Reference [2] is a quotation from the Bible, the meaning and relevance of which is unclear to me.
