Determining the material properties of layered systems like graphite andbigraphene from \emph{ab initio} calculations is very difficult. This is mostlydue to the complex van der Waals forces which help bind the layers. Recently,Chen~\emph{et al.} [Chen et al., Sci. Rep. 3, 3046 (2013)] reported a novelapproach for extracting geometry dependent energetic properties of general,layered graphitic systems from periodic graphite calculations on AA, AB and ABCgraphite. Unfortunately, their analysis suffered from a number of technical andtheoretical flaws which make their results unreliable for predicting energeticproperties. We propose that their conclusions in this regard should bereassessed, or reanalysed using more appropriate van der Waals theory.
