    It is claimed that the set of reductions of Gentzen-type derivations [proposed by \textit{M. Szabo} in the book: Algebra of proofs (1978; Zbl 0532.03030)] is not sufficient to establish equivalence of two derivations \((\alpha\otimes\gamma)\otimes \beta\to(\alpha\otimes \beta)\otimes\gamma\). The reason: absence of reduction corresponding to \(1=cc\), where \(c\) is commutativity.
