Witt & Mao (1994) claim that the data reported by Racine (1992) contains “a quite well sampled M-shaped double event in image A of 0.3 and 0.4 mag, respectively”. They further state that the very low average mass scenario put forward by Refsdal & Stabell (1991) does not predict “well-resolved asymmetric events, as have been observed in image A”.
