A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.83.023604 83, 023604 (2011) based on extensive numerical calculation has confirmed a crucial role played by condensate nucleation and the resulting phase separation in a polarized Fermi gas. In this paper, the authors attribute such nonhomogeneous nucleation as an explanation to the controversy between the MIT and Rice polarized Fermi gas experiments reported in Science 311, 492 (2006) and Science 311, 503 (2006), respectively.
