In this comment, we argue that the recent experiment of Ketterle and co-workers does not necessarily need to be interpreted as indicating that the true scattering amplitude between two molecules becomes small (8 nm measured vs. 120 nm predicted). Rather it can be interpreted as indicating that the energy of the achieved state is much lower than both the (variational) energy for a BCS state and the energy of a molecular condensate. In this sense, we suggest that the experiment may point to a novel many-body state, that is neither the BCS nor the molecular BEC state, and that still has to be identified.
