This just came up on HN: How To Publish a Scientific Comment in 123 Easy Steps (pdf)

Ideally, an author can be notified of their mistake and publish a retraction (it should be their responsbility), but it seems that some authors would rather defend work they know is flawed, or do nothing and hope their mistake goes unnoticed.

Thank you for the link. I forget when I would have laughed this much the last time.
