Last word on viewpoint: unresolved mysteries.
TO THE EDITOR: We thank those colleagues (see Ref. 1) who have taken the time to comment on our Viewpoint. Our interpretation of these comments is that there is general agreement that there remain uncertainties about how peripheral lung structure changes with lung inflation and deflation.
