Popis: Analysis is presented that shows that the paper by Ruskov et al. [Phys. Plasmas 28, 112701 (2021)] gives incorrect physical interpretations to liner-on-plasma computational results and has mathematical deficiencies in the computational approach. The analysis also confirms a previous result: Mach2 calculations of the so-called staged z-pinch artificially inject energy that leads to the incorrect conclusion that the calculations should reach fusion temperatures.
