The paper by Alila et al. [2009, hereafter referred to as AKSH] presents a technique for analyzing altered peak flow frequencies after logging. The paper suggests that the established method of chronologically pairing peak flows by corresponding hydrologic input at control and treated watersheds is inappropriate, leading to irrelevant research hypotheses and impeding scientific progress. In general, we agree that analyses of changes in flood frequency are useful for evaluating the effects of watershed disturbance, and that simple regression models often provide inadequate descriptions of postt...
