The method of grain depth distribution analysis has recently been suggested as a means of verifying the genuine astrophysical nature of optical candidates for gamma-ray burst sources. Application of this technique has raised doubts about the reality of several such candidates, including the multiple candidate near gamma-ray burst source 790325b. We analyze those results here on the basis of experience gained from the optical search for optical transients. It is concluded that the results are not convincing and that the true astrophysical origin of the optical candidate for gamma-ray source 790325b can neither be definitely proven nor definitely discarded on the basis of the present evidence.
