Abstract
We examine a recently published calculation which predicts an oscillat ory behaviour for the decay of Lambda's produced together with a neutr al kaon, and proposes a new expression for the wavelength of kaon stra ngeness oscillations. We modify the calculation by imposing the requir ement that the interference of the K-L and K-S components of the kaon wave function occurs at a specific space-time point. With this require ment, the unusual results predicted vanish, and the conventional resul ts are recovered.
