In a recent series of papers Endean examines the properties of spatially homogeneous and isotropic (FLRW) cosmological models filled with dust in the ``conformally flat spacetime presentation of cosmology'' (CFS cosmology). This author claims it is possible to resolve a certain number of the difficulties the standard model exhibits when confronted to observations, if the theoretical predictions are obtained in the special framework of CFS cosmology. As a by-product of his analysis Endean claims that no initial (big-bang) nor final (big-crunch) singularities occur in the closed FLRW model. In this paper we show up the fallacious arguments leading to Endean's conclusions and we consistently reject his CFS cosmology.
