  The proposed algorithm by Philippe D'Arco et al. 2013 J. Phys.: Condens.
Matter 25 355401 was not well compared with other possible solutions for
symmetry independent configuration (SIC) generation. In this comment, three
well known solutions of SIC searching are discussed: exhaustive explorations,
pure random sampling and "symmetry imposed" approaches. It is shown, that the
advantages of the algorithm published by Philippe D'Arco et al. are
questionable.
