A gravitational-wave (GW) detector that utilizes the phononic excitations of
a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has recently been proposed NJP 16, 085003
(2014). A subsequent and independent study, arXiv:1807.07046, has suggested
an alternative GW detection scheme that also uses phonons of a BEC but which
was found to be many orders of magnitude away from being feasible. Here we make
clear that the two proposed schemes are very different and that the conclusions
of arXiv:1807.07046 do not apply to the original proposal NJP 16, 085003
(2014).
