In a very recent work, [1] claim that the scenario of temperatureinhomogeneities proposed by [2] ($t2$ > 0) is not able to explain theO$^{2+}$/H$^{+}$ abundance discrepancy observed between the calculations basedon the optical [OIII] collisional excited lines (CELs) and the OIIrecombination lines (RLs) in the star forming galaxy Mrk71. In this work, weshow that conclusions of [1] depend on several assumptions on the absolute fluxcalibration, reddening correction and the adopted electron density. In fact,using the data of [1] in a different way and even considering their 1{\sigma}uncertainties, it is possible to reach the opposite conclusion, consistent with$t2$ = $0.097 ^{+0.008}_{-0.009}$. Therefore, the existence of temperatureinhomogeneities causing the O$^{2+}$/H$^{+}$ abundance discrepancy in Mrk71 cannot be ruled out.

Temperature inhomogeneities in Mrk71 can not be discarded
