Careful theoretical studies of the nuclear collective inertia based on the
non-relativistic mean-field theory and the cranking model [N. El Aouad et a
l., Nucl. Phys. A676, 155 (2000)] indicate that the moments of inertia of t
he super-deformed nuclei calculated using various standard methods and para
meterizations exceed systematically the experimental values. Similarly, but
for other reasons the relativistic cranking calculations based on the rela
tivistic mean field method present, in our opinion, a different class of sy
stematic deviations from experiment. The origin and possible explanations o
f these deviations axe discussed briefly.
