I show that Pickard's mathematics cannot properly describe the effects of time‐correlated signals in the presence of incoherent noise and cannot, therefore, properly address most signal‐to‐noise questions. Aside from this objection, I show that Pickard's conclusions follow from an ingenuous definition of “small signals” and do not hold for realistic models of biological processes and more conventional descriptions of “small signals.” © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
