Abstract
An alternate development of a relaxation time for free charge in conducting media, presented in the referenced letter, is questioned here. It is shown that the equations of the alternate development actually lead to the well-known "classical" time constant ε/σ. Several instances of apparently questionable reasoning in the referenced letter are commented upon.
