Comment on "Unmasking the nuclear equation of state"

Referring to a recently published paper [J. Piekarewicz, Phys. Rev. C 69, 041301 (2004)], we point out that Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations of the symmetry energy predict values of the neutron skin of heavy nuclei which are remarkably consistent with those from a recent ``best-fit'' analysis.
