Abstract
A four-dimensional differentiable manifold is given with an arbitrary linear connection . Megged has claimed that he can define a metric by means of a certain integral equation such that the connection is compatible with the metric. We point out that Megged's implicite definition of his metric is equivalent to the assumption of a vanishing nonmetricity. Thus his result turns out to be trivial.
