Comment on: “Complete resolution of the quantum Zeno paradox for outside observers” [Phys. Lett. A 326 (2004) 32]

In a Letter by Hotta and Morikawa [M. Hotta, M. Morikawa, Phys. Lett. A 326 (2004) 32–41] the complete resolution of the quantum Zeno paradox has been claimed, invoking non-existence of the effect. It is shown here that the pertinent proof is incorrect, and the claim unfounded. We identify the logical errors made using an illustrative counterexample.
