A comprehensive study of the stretch response of the Zeldovich-Liñ´n model is made under the new limit of large heat release. As a response to the work of Mikolaitis (1986), in particular, it is shown that the smallness of the concentration of intermediates is due to the ratio of Damköhler numbers and not to the largeness of the heat release, and that the stretch response. including the existence of Seshadri and Peters' stretch-resistant flames, is not affected by the consideration of a large heat release and/or activation energy limit.
