AB  - We show that neither the Piggyback-the-Winner model nor coral reef virome data presented in Knowles et al. [1] support a mechanistic link between increases in lysogeny, suppression of lysis, and the decline of the virus-to-microbial cell ratio (VMR) at high microbial cell densities across environmental and human-associated systems.
