Abstract
We show some inaccuracies in recent arguments claiming that in the lon g-time limit the initially correlated A + B --> 0 diffusion-limited re action can be faster than the A + A --> 0 one. With the errors correct ed, these arguments seem to confirm the former theory of Toussant and Wilczek according to which the global rate of both reactions should ul timately be the same. This hypothesis is also supported by our numeric al simulations of a two-dimensional lattice system.
