  "abstract": "The critique against using Boltzmann's microcanonical entropy, an \"ensemble measure\", as foundation of statistics is rebuffed. The confusion of the microcanonical distribution with the exponential Boltzmann-Gibbs (``BG'') distribution is pointed out. Boltzmann's principle is clearly superior over any Tsallis q-statistics in describing the equilibrium of small systems like nuclei and even self-gravitating systems as paradigm of non-extensive Hamiltonian systems.",
