[1997]), the reported time lags, while correct in magnitude, have a
sign that is incorrect. We reanalyzed the data and checked the sign of
our results using the hard lags in Cyg X-1 and GX 339-4 and the soft
lags in the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658, as well as by
using test signals. The true time delays for 4U 1608-52 are in the sense
of the soft photons lagging the hard ones. Any lags in the reported
energy and frequency ranges for 4U 0614+091 are between -80 and +15
μs and for 4U 1636-53 are between -50 and +25 μs (95% confidence),
respectively, where a positive sign indicates a hard lag. This
strengthens the conclusion of the Letter that in simple scattering
models any time lags due to inverse Compton scattering are small and
imply very small (
