We examine the assertion that elastic data for [sup 6]Li scattering at 210 and 318 MeV can be reproduced by a folding model using the M3Y interaction without any need for renormalization. We find this claim to be confusing, because the prescription used for knockon exchange differs from that usually regarded as part of the M3Y model, and unjustified because we find that the optimum fits to the data do require a reduction of about 30% in the strength of the M3Y interaction. The use of the M3Y model is reviewed briefly.
