Abstract
The upper bound on the ratio of the proton structure functions tested in the recent paper "The New Measurement from HERA and the Dipole Model", contrary to what is said therein, does not provide a model-independent "rigorous" experimental test of the color-dipole picture. The validity of the theoretical upper bound depends on an ad hoc assumption on the dipole cross section. -- The analysis in the paper "The New Measurement from HERA and the Dipole Model" can be reinterpreted as an additional confirmation of the absolute model-independent prediction from the color-dipole picture of .
