Abstract
The relation between the “non-perturbative analysis” of low temperature dephasing by Golubev and co-workers and the perturbation theory is discussed. The contributions missed in each order of perturbation theory by the “non-perturbative analysis” are listed. The main source of the mistake is pointed out.
