Helplessness, illusions, and depression: final comment.

Abramson and Alloy's reply to my comment suggests that we are in broad agreement. However, they suggest there is evidence that nondepressed people detect noncontingency accurately. That evidence seems weak at best. They also criticize me for faulting helplessness as being neither necessary nor sufficient for depression when it never actually claimed to be either. My concern was not with necessity or sufficiency, but with relevance.
