Abstract

There are no "three regimes of QCD", as speculated in that paper. There are only two, separated by already well known Tc155MeVT_c\sim 155\, MeV. Above it electric interactions are screened rather then confined. Magnetic ones remain confined all the way to TT\rightarrow \infty. Spectrum of "mesonic screening masses" is there, but they do not represent real masses. At high TT they correspond to "heavy quarkonia" of 2+1 d gauge theory, which is well known to be a confining theory. There is no reason to expect any transition unbinding them, at T1GeVT\sim 1\, GeV as claimed. I make calculation of correction to screening masses in 2+1d at high temperature including spatial screening tension and find results in agreement with recent lattice data.
