  In a recent pair of papers, Eric DeGiuli has developed a field theory of
glasses and granular materials based on the Edwards ensemble, extending our
earlier theoretical framework. In this comment, we address a misconception
regarding the relation between equiprobability of microstates and a flat
measure in a field theory, which appears in the DeGiuli papers, and has often
plagued discussions surrounding the Edwards ensemble. We point out that
modeling this measure is the challenge addressed in both our earlier work and
the recent DeGiuli work. Contrary to what is stated in the the DeGiuli papers,
we did not assume a flat measure in our earlier work.
