Abstract: A recent paper by Gambini, Rastgoo and Pullin [arXiv:1106.1417 investigates the important issue of constraints from Lorentz invariance on Planck scale physics, arguing that the classic analysis of Collins, Perez, Sudarsky, Urrutia and Vucetich cite{cpsuv} is not generally valid. We argue that the new work is based on models that do not capture the relevant physics, and that almost all models of observable high energy Lorentz violation, and proposed Lorentz-violating theories of quantum gravity, are ruled out by low energy tests; the only known exceptions are based on supersymmetry.
