## Abstract

A hierarchy of equations was introduced recently to describe the kinetics of homogeneous cooling of the gas of inelastic hard spheres. It is argued that this hierarchy does not describe this system accurately, and a simple test for this is proposed. A stochastic interpretation of the hierarchy is presented.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
