It has been said that the measurements of $U_{e3}$ in the lepton flavor mixing matrix would help discriminate between the possible solar neutrino solutions under the natural conditions with the neutrino mass hierarchies of $m_1 \ll m_2 \ll m_3$ and $m_1 \sim m_2 \gg m_3$, where $m_i$ is the $i$-th generation neutrino absolute mass. However, it is not true, and the relation between $\sin^2 2 \theta_{12}$ and $U_{e3}$ obtained by Akhmedov, Branco, and Rebelo is trivial in actual. We show in this paper that the value of $U_{e3}$ cannot predict the solar neutrino solutions without one additional nontrivial condition.
