Our numerical simulation of collisionless m=1 reconnection in tokamaks do not support the Wang and Bhattacharjee theory of explosive growth of plasma instabilities. We disagree with their assumptions link-ing the poloidal flow to the plasma pressure. (AIP) {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
