Two parallel dielectric plates separated by vacuum interact through zero-point charge fluctuations and experience friction when the plates are in relative motion and the vacuum is sheared. Even at the absolute zero of temperature, residual quantum fluctuations remain because the zero-point energy gives rise to 'quantum friction'. In a recent paper, the reality of these fluctuations is questioned and the existence of quantum friction is called into question. Here we refute this assertion.
