  Recently, S. Aggarwal [Chin. Phys. B 23 (2014) 093203] reported energy
levels, radiative rates and lifetimes for the lowest 60 levels belonging to the
2s$^2$2p$^5$, 2s2p$^6$ and 2s$^2$2p$^4$3$\ell$ configurations of F-like
tungsten. There is no discrepancy for his calculated energies for the levels
and the radiative rates for the limited number of E1 transitions, but the
reported results for lifetimes are highly inaccurate. According to our
calculations, errors in his reported lifetimes are up to 6 orders of magnitude
for several levels. Here we report the correct lifetimes for future comparisons
and applications, and also explain the reason for discrepancies.
