The claim by Dar and Shaviv that they have found a standard model solution to the solar neutrino problem is based upon an incorrect assumption made in extrapolating nuclear cross sections and the selective use of a small fraction of the nuclear physics and of the neutrino data. In addition, five different solar model codes show that the rate obtained for the chlorine experiment using the Dar-Shaviv stated parameters differs by at least $14 \sigma$ from the observed rate.
