Abstract
A comment is made about a recent paper by Feuchtwang. In particular, it is argued that the treatment of tunneling of Caroli et al., as extended to the continuous limit, is exact, and that Feuchtwang's article, which leads to completely equivalent results, does actually confirm this statement.Keywords
