  A recent experimental proposal by Ahnert and Payne [S.E. Ahnert and M.C.
Payne, Phys. Rev. A 70, 042102 (2004)] outlines a method to measure the weak
value predictions of Aharonov in Hardy's paradox. This proposal contains flaws
such as the state preparation method and the procedure for carrying out the
requisite weak measurements. We identify previously published solutions to some
of the flaws.
