TL;DR: In the spirit and style of John S Bell's well-known paper on How to teach special relativity, it is argued that a Bohmian pedagogy provides a very useful tool to illustrate the relation between classical and quantum physics and illuminates the peculiar features of the latter as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In the spirit and style of John S Bell's well-known paper on How to teach special relativity [1] it is argued that a 'Bohmian pedagogy' provides a very useful tool to illustrate the relation between classical and quantum physics and illuminates the peculiar features of the latter.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the failure to reproduce the result is not a consequence of a novel and improved calculation, but a result of repeating the same calculation but making an assumption that is in conflict with the assumptions made to produce the original scenario.
Abstract: It was previously shown that models with deformations of special relativity that have an energy-dependent yet observer-independent speed of light suffer from nonlocal effects that are in conflict with observation to very high precision. In a recent preprint it has been claimed that this conclusion is false. This claim was made by writing down expressions for modified Lorentz-transformations the use of which does not reproduce the result. I will show here that the failure to reproduce the result is not a consequence of a novel and improved calculation, but a consequence of repeating the same calculation but making an assumption that is in conflict with the assumptions made to produce the original scenario. I will here explain what the physical meaning of either assumption is and why the original assumption is the physically meaningful one. I will then further explain why even making the differing assumption does not remove but merely shift the problem and why the bound derived by Amelino-Camelia et al is wrong.

TL;DR: The condition of equilibrium is obtained up to the ppN approximation by solving the Einstein-Maxwell equations as discussed by the authors, and it is conjectured that for spherically symmetric particles the classical condition e 1 e 2 = Gm 1 m 2 applies.
