read the original abstract
This Commentary on the paper "Total Hadronic Cross Section Data and the Froissart-Martin Bound", by Fagundes, Menon and Silva, to be published in Braz. J. of Phys., Vol. 42 (2012) (arXiv 1112.4704), was invited by the Editors of the Brazilian Journal of Physics to appear directly after the above authors' printed version, in the same journal issue. We here challenge that paper's conclusions that the Froissart bound was violated. We will show that this conclusion follows from a statistical methodology that we question, and will present compelling supplementary evidence that the latest ultra-high energy experimental $pp$ cross section data are consistent with a $\ln^2 s$ behavior that satisfies the Froissart bound.
