  We comment on a recent paper by B.C. Liu and B.S. Zou [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96,
042002 (2006)] where it was argued that the coupling of the N*(1535) to
K\Lambda is even larger than its coupling to the \eta N channel. Specifically,
we point out that recently measured Dalitz plot distributions for pp ->
pK^+\Lambda provide clear evidence for the importance of (p\Lambda) final-state
interactions in this reaction and, at the same time, exclude a decisive role of
the N*(1535) resonance, in contradiction to claims made by Liu and Zou.
