I agree with Nat. If you think a structure has a problem area, it is much easier to point it out to the users than to publish a rebuttal. Comments are easy. Simply state your observation. If you are wrong in your assessment, I am sure you will receive a fine education from the more learned

Hi Kevin, Hate to point this out, but under pH 7.0, the protonation state of water is not 50:50, and it is not a good acid. The H30+ concentration of pure water is 10^-7 Molar. In pure water (assuming 55.5 M) only 1:555,000,000 water molecules is in the protonated, charged state (H3O+).
