Abstract
This Comment shows that the anisotropy of the band structure of the conducting salts derived from experimental data is not inconsistent with large superconducting precursor effects around 10 or 15 K. This is a temperature domain which is about 10 times higher than the maximum temperature for the onset of long-range ordered three-dimensional superconductivity ( K). Furthermore, there is a large number of experimental results which are not consistent with single-particle transport properties at low temperature. Likewise the interpretation of the pseudogap and the magnetoresistance in terms of spin-density waves has to our knowledge no experimental support. The existence of superconducting fluctuations seems, at least presently, to be the only consistent interpretation.
