In Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 937 (1991) [1], Haldane introduced the fruitful concept of fractional exclusion statistics (FES). One of the most influential papers in which the thermodynamics of FES systems was deduced is Y.-S. Wu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 922 (1994). Unfortunately, some important, but eventually subtle, properties of the exclusion statistics parameters were overlooked in the original paper [1] and in all the papers after that, including [2]. This omission makes the thermodynamics of FES systems inconsistent when mutual exclusion statistics is manifesting in the system. By this Comment I want to point-out this error--an error that persisted for such a long time--and to give the correct statistical mechanics interpretation of FES.
