  We comment on the significance of the results in the paper by Nakamura et al
(2020). The experimental result measures the phase for a repeated elementary
exchange of two identical quasiparticles, and shows that the quasiparticles are
anyons. The value of the phase agrees with theoretical predictions. However, in
terms of the statistics parameter $\theta$ for a single elementary exchange, it
determines $2\theta$ modulo $2\pi$, and hence $\theta$ only modulo $\pi$, not
modulo $2\pi$, and so does not fully check the theoretical prediction for the
braiding statistics of charge $e/3$ quasiparticles. This is a general
shortcoming of this particular type of interference measurement of statistics.
