There exists a basic uncertainty in the extraction method of [ital K][sup +]-nucleus total cross sections with the usual transmission experimental data. Although the errors are very small for light nuclei, they amount to about 10% for medium and heavy nuclei. When nontraditional effects of [ital K][sup +]-nucleon interactions within the nucleus, such as swelling of nucleon, are investigated, only the total cross sections on light nuclei should be used in order to avoid this uncertainty.
