Abstract	This paper comments on the response offered by Szechtman and Woody to Taylor et al's initial comments on Szechtman and Woody's original article. Taylor et al highlight one problem with their model that Woody and Szechtman seem to think is unimportant: the treatment relevance of their model. The analogy of aspirin and colds was used, suggesting that administering aspirin improves the symptoms of a cold, but a cold is not some kind of aspirin deficiency, nor do a cold's viral origins explain why aspirin works". Taylor et al believe that this analogy is misleading and they pointed out that the security motivation model has deficiencies in the area of treatment relevance. Rather than grappling with this important problem, Woody and Szechtman attempted to sidestep the issue. (Author).
