Abstract: In a recent paper, hep-th/0509109, Gukov et al. introduced an entropy functional on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau compactifications. The maxima of this functional are then interpreted as "preferred" Calabi-Yau compactifications. In this note we show that for compact Calabi-Yaus, all regular critical points of this entropic principle are maxima.
