%X In a recent paper M. Dzugutov, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70 2924 (1993), describes a molecular dynamics cooling simulation where he obtained a large monatomic dodecagonal quasicrystal from a melt. The structure was stabilized by a special potential [Phys. Rev. A46 R2984 (1992)] designed to prevent the nucleation of simple dense crystal structures. In this comment we will give evidence that the ground state structure for Dzugutov's potential is an ordinary bcc crystal.
