  It is shown that conclusions regarding the statistical nature of
multifragmentation, drawn by Botvina and Gross from experimental data, are
unfounded. Imperfections of the experimental apparatus cannot restore
information, once destroyed by statistical fluctuations. Attention is also
called to the special treatment of neutron phase space in the Berlin MMMC,
affecting the predicted relation between excitation energy and transversal
kinetic energy of associated particles.
