Abstract
The paper by Malek Mansour and Garcia [Phys. Rev. E 101, 052135 (2020)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.101.052135] is shown to be based on misconceptions in the stochastic formulation of chemical thermodynamics in reactive systems. Their erroneous claims, asserting that entropy production cannot be correctly evaluated using path probabilities whenever the reactive system involves more than one elementary reaction leading to the same composition changes, are refuted.
