The equation of motion method (EOM) is one of the approximations to calculate transport coefficients of interacting electron systems. The method is known to be useful to examine high-temperature properties. However, sometimes a naive application of the EOM fails to capture an important physics at low-energy scale, and it happens in recent preprints cond-mat/0309458 and cond-mat/0308413 which study a series of quantum dots. These preprints concluded that a unitarity-limit transport due to the Kondo resonance, which has been deduced from a Fermi-liquid behavior of the self-energy at T=0, $\omega=0$ [A.O., PRB {\bf 63}, 115305 (2001)], does not occur. We show that the EOM self-energy obtained with a finite cluster has accidentally a singular $1/\omega$ dependence around the Fermi energy, and it misleads one to the result incompatible with a Fermi-liquid ground state.
