Response to Comment from Robert Cousins on Confidence intervals for the Poisson distribution

Abstract

Robert Cousins has posted a comment on my manuscript on ``Confidence intervals for the Poisson distribution''. His key point is that one should not include in the likelihood non-physical parameter values, even for frequency statistics. This is my response, in which I contend that it can be useful to do so when discussing such descriptive statistics.
