Query: Comment on 'Anomalous Conductance Distribution in Q1D Gold Wires:
  Possible Violation of the One-Parameter Scaling Hypothesis' [PRL 88, 146601
  (2002)]   Mohanty and Webb [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 146601 (2002), cond-mat/0204298] claim
that their data on conductance fluctuations in gold wires contradict the
one-parameter scaling. We show that flaws in extracting values of the cumulants
(irreducible moments) <<g^n>> of the conductance distribution (for n=3,4)
invalidate all the conclusions made there. The actual values of the cumulants
determined by us from the published raw data contained in Ref. [Phys. Rev.
Lett. 88, 146601 (2002)] are orders of magnitude smaller than those claimed.
Moreover, the limited applicability of the ergodicity hypothesis makes the
higher order cumulants extracted from magnetofingerprints statistically
unreliable. Thus, the data of Ref. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 146601 (2002)] do not
warrant any statement on the violation or validity of the one-parameter
scaling.
