T. Nogura and D. Shakhmatov constructed the first non-consonant metric space and they asked whether there is a non-consonant separable metric space. A lot of authors gave examples for this question but A. Bouziad presented the result of greatest generality in this direction and he proved the following proposition: Proposition 1. Every regular first countable space without isolated points, all compact subsets of which are countable, is not Fin-trivial (and hence, non-consonant). In this paper the author gives the corollary below and shows how Proposition 1 follows from Corollary 2. Corollary 2. If \(X\) is a regular totally imperfect space with no isolated points that contains a copy of the rational numbers, then \(X\) is neither Fin-trivial nor compact-family-splittable. Also, he gives an example of space that satisfies the hypothesis of Corollary 2, but not the hypothesis of Proposition 1. So, this corollary improves Proposition 1. Finally, in the last section he gives some applications to function spaces. As a corollary he concludes that various splitting topologies on the space of continuous real-valued functions defined on a metric space need not coincide.
