  A critical discussion is presented of the data analysis applied by Bernstein,
Freedman and Madore (2002 ApJ, 571, 56; and ApJ 571, 85) in their measurement
of the Extragalactic Background Light. There are questionable assumptions in
the analysis of the ground-based observations of the Zodiacal Light. The
modeling of the Diffuse Galactic Light is based on an underestimated value of
the dust column density along the line of sight. Comparison with the previously
presented results from the same observations reveals a puzzling situation: in
spite of a large difference in the atmospheric scattered light corrections the
derived Extragalactic Background Light values are exactly the same. The claim
of the paper of a ``detection of the Extragalactic Background Light'' appears
premature.
