Abstract: I criticize the claim, made in a recent article [C. M. Bender and L. R. Mead, Eur. J. Phys. 20, 117 (1999)], that in order to obtain the correct cross section for the scattering from a two-dimensional delta-function potential one must perform analytic continuation in the dimension of space.
