Abstract
Pastor's discovery of a historical example of a noninferior fractional solution to the location set-covering problem is not unexpected. We a rgue here that a method or observation that is generally good (or true ) has merit and should not be dismissed as lacking in utility because of occasional counterexamples. A further report concerning fractions/i ntegers in set-covering problems is made and the specific example cite d by Pastor is analyzed.
