The scale invariant gravitational Lagrangian ℒg presented by the author several years ago, must be supplemented by a matter Lagrangian ℒm.
It is shown that the form of ℒm proposed by Kembhavi & Pollock (their equation 3) far from being "inescapable" or "the only possible form" as the authors claim, is instead a very particular case that contains already imprinted all the results believe they have discovered.
The conclusions of KP are therefore erroneous.
