We show that the "waterfalls", as reported in recent ARPES studies on HTSC, can neither be described as a part of a self-consistent quasiparticle spectrum nor represent a new physical phenomena, namely the "new energy scale". They stem from the critical suppression of the photoemission intensity along the Brillouin zone (BZ) diagonals. Our arguments, however, do not question the existence of the high-energy scale itself (~ 0.25 eV), which is a simple consequence of the renormalization maximum and has been explained earlier in terms of coupling to a continuum of bosonic excitations. Moreover, when the matrix-elements are taken into account, it becomes clear that the photoemission spectrum consists of two components: one represents the spectrum of one-particle excitations and the other, having a grid-like structure along the bonding directions in the BZ, is of yet unknown origin.
