Comment on "Optimal probe wave function of weak-value amplification"

Abstract

First, a misconception about the spectrum of a confined particle is evidentiated. Then, the results are shown to be incorrect by means of a counter-example, an explicit preparation for the probe is given that yields an arbitrary amplification, and the source of the error is pointed out.
