The need to regularize loop integrals in a manner that preserves gauge invariance, for example, using the Pauli-Villars method, requires a subtraction that in the large mass limit hides its high momentum origin. This gives rise to the illusion that only nonrelativistic kaon loop momenta are relevant, when in fact this is not the case, as we show.
