The recent claim by Kirkpatrick and Belitz (cond-mat/0111398) that Ward identities could be used to prove the absence of electron dephasing at T=0 contains serious flaws. These authors try to draw conclusions about dephasing from an analysis of the diffuson, which is not sensitive to this process. The Cooperon, which does contain this information, is analyzed only in time reversal symmetric situations, which by assumption excludes any relaxation and dephasing. Hence, their analysis remains inconclusive for the problem in question.
