x We show that the physically absurd state obtained by Vorontsov and Rembovsky Phys. Lett. A 254 1999 7 results from an unphysical choice of approximate phase measurement and not from the phase formalism itself as claimed. Thus their assertion that it is impossible to perform even an approximate measurement of phase is unfounded.
