We discuss three aspects of a paper by Terentiev (1991). Firstly, we compare Terentiev's algorithm for exact sigma_hkl with the analytic solution for h <= k <= l and h + k < l. Secondly, we show that the general formula given by Terentiev should be interpreted probabilistically in order to be self consistent. Finally, we replicate in principle the simulation results for sigma_hkl in a nickel melt using nothing more than Matlab routines. date: 2006 citation: Bohun, C.S. and Gravesen, J. and Laurie, H. and Hansen, J.
