Popis:	A critique of a recent paper [Mallamace et al PNAS 2010 107 (52) 22457-2246] purporting the existence of a fragile-to-strong crossover in super cooled liquids is presented. It is shown that Mallamace et al have mistaken the onset crossover with the fragile-strong crossover. Moreover, it is shown that supercooled liquid transport data follows the expected parabolic function, without a crossover to another functional form, and that Mallamace et al have obscured this fact by singling out anomalous data as examples.
