Abstract
We show that the "defective" terms in the expression that Dondera [Phys. Rev. D 98, 096008 (2018)] obtained for the momentum of the retarded field of an accelerating point charge are mathematically well justified. The repair should not be sought in assigning an accelerating "bare" charge ad hoc compensating attributes. We advance a conjecture, supported by published work, concerning the Hadamard finite part of the divergent integral for the retarded-field momentum in question.
