  A recent measurement [Spyrou et al., PRL 108, 102501 (2012)] of the in-flight
decay of 16Be into 14Be+n+n has been interpreted as the first case of dineutron
emission. Here we point out that the inclusion of the n-n interaction neglected
in the description of the direct three-body decay can generate strong
enhancements at low n-n relative energy and angle, as observed, without any
need to invoke dineutron decay.
