Reply to Karpitschka et al.: The Neumann force balance does not hold in dynamical elastowetting [Physical Sciences]

In their letter, Karpitschka et al. (1) discuss our claim that the predictions of our theoretical description for the spreading of a droplet on a soft solid layer based on a global-dissipation approach (2) differ from the outcomes of Karpitschka et al.'s model based on a local-force-balance analysis (3).
