Forty Percent at the Adopted Modulus: What a Single Shear Modulus Costs the Solid Strangeon-Star Headlines

A pricing of the adopted shear modulus in Shen, Gao, Li and Xu's tidal-deformation study of solid strangeon stars (arXiv:2607.11780), computed from the record's own Newtonian estimate, its Eqs. (45)-(47), which the record validates against its relativistic result. The record headlines, at an adopted shear modulus of mu = 10^34 erg cm^-3, a relative tidal-deformability difference of approximately 40 percent between solid and fluid strangeon stars and a deviation of about 10 percent from the universal I-Love relation. In the record's own formula the difference is mu_tilde/(1 + mu_tilde) with mu_tilde linear in mu; at the only other modulus the record puts in print, the 4 x 10^32 erg cm^-3 of Lai et al. (2019) quoted in its introduction, the formula returns 2.3 percent. The difference is 5.5 percent at 10^33, reaches 10 percent at mu = 1.92 x 10^33, and would be 85.3 percent at 10^35. The headline is the value at the adopted point of the record's own curve. A second adoption, the breaking strain sigma = 0.001 of the fracture exhibits against the record's own typically assumed 0.01, is named but not priced, the record running that dependence in a figure without printed numbers. Quantum gravity NOT SOLVED; vacuum catastrophe NOT SOLVED.
