This paper presents a laudable and entirely conventional (non-MOND)
analysis of the masses of LSB disks which are required to support the
spiral density wave patterns observed. The conventional inference is
of massive disks - near (or occassionally in excess of) maximum disk,
with M*/L well above what one would expect for stars.
In paper [38], I had pointed out that if MOND were
correct, analysis of the stability properties of LSB galaxies in these
terms would lead to just this inference.
This constitutes another successful MOND prediction.
