Experimental results stated in quant-ph/0612031 are seminal: The authors have realized nondemolition measurements of the photon number. As to the interpretation of the results, it seems to be less than convincing: The treatment of the system state and of the role of measurement is not compatible with the conventional point of view. We propose an adequate treatment, in which the experimental results are a manifestation of a partial Zeno effect (a slowdown of relaxation).
