Reply to “Comment on ‘Elastic constants from microscopic strain fluctuations’ ”

We agree with Coupier et al. [Phys. Rev. E 81, 013101 (2010)] that their technique for extracting elastic constants from microscopic strain fluctuations improves upon ours because of a more accurate computation of the integral of the elastic correlation function over sub-blocks. However, we believe that their interpretation of the physical relevance of the elastic correlation length extracted from the fits is misleading.
