Arguments made recently by Howard [Phys. Rev. A 51, 3934 (1995)] as to (i) the consequences of the nonexistence of an effective potential in the problem of a hydrogen atom in a circularly polarized microwave field, and (ii) the claimed advantages of his stability analysis as compared to methods based on harmonic expansion at an equilibrium point are examined.
