Comments on ``glueballs, multi-quark states and the OZI rule''

Arguments in regard to the OZI rule by Lipkin are shown to be erroneous, especially in regard to the reaction π^-p-->φφn and ψψ(3685)-->J/ψ(3100)+2π which he concludes are OZI allowed or only suppressed by a much smaller factor. His conclusions in regard to our glueball arguments are also erroneous. The reasons for these errors are discussed in this paper.
