Abstract: This is essentially an erratum, with some example to indicate inconsistencies. Suppose $A=k[X_1,X_2,ldots,X_n]$ is a polynomial ring over a field $k$. The Complete Intersection conjecture states that, for any ideal $I$ in $A$, $mu(I)=mu(I/I^2)$, where $mu$ denotes the minimal number of generators. When $k$ is an infinite field, with $1/2ink$, a proof of this conjecture was claimed recently, which was a consequence of a stronger claim. A counter example of this stronger claim surfaced recently. This note discusses such examples and attempts to provide some clarity to the inconsistencies in the literature.
