As opposed to Arminjon statements, in this work we again assert the absence of the non-uniqueness problem of the Dirac theory in a curved and flat spacetime and illustrate this with a number of examples. Dirac Hamiltonians in arbitrary, including time-dependent, gravitational fields uniquely determine physical characteristics of quantum-mechanical systems irrespective of the choice of the tetrad fields. Direct spin-rotation coupling that occurs with a certain choice of tetrads does not manifest itself in final physical characteristics of the systems and therefore does not represent a physically relevant effect.
