title: Reply to comment on 'Calculated chiral and magneto-electric dichroic signals for copper metaborate (CuB(2)O(4)) in an applied magnetic field'.
abstract: From the dawn of modern electromagnetism it has been known that a magnetic field is not handed (chiral). Arima and Saito (2009 J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 21 498001) persist with unwisdom in their repeated claim to have observed control of chirality using a magnetic field by and in itself. In our reply to their claim, we demonstrate damning errors in all challenges in the comment levelled at our analysis of the observation reported by Saito et al (2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 117402) and made on a crystal of copper metaborate.
