Abstract

The method, proposed in \cite{Za22} to derive the densest packing fraction of random disc and sphere packings, is shown to yield in two dimensions too high a value that (i) violates the very assumption underlying the method and (ii) corresponds to a high degree of structural order. The claim that the obtained value is supported by a specific simulation is shown to be unfounded. One source of the error is pointed out.<br />Comment: 1 page, supplemental material is referenced, typo corrected
