Comment on 'Pople versus Dunning basis sets for group IA metal hydrides and some other second row hydrides: The case against a De Facto standard' by R.A. Klein and M.A. Zottola [Chem. Phys. Lett. 419 (2006) 254-258]

The combination of correlation consistent basis sets and high level correlation treatment, such as provided by coupled cluster theory through single and double excitations with a quasi-perturbative treatment of triples, yields uniformly small errors with respect to experiment using statistics based on almost 300 molecules.
