title: A critique of some recent suggestions to correct the Kirkwood-Buff integrals.
abstract: This article is a thorough critique of some recent publications by Matteoli, Lepori, Ruckenstein and others who suggested a correction to the Kirkwood-Buff integrals to obtain "better" information on the molecular interactions. It is shown that the suggested "corrected" Kirkwood-Buff integrals are, in fact, less informative than the original integrals. A detailed and critical examination of the arguments that led to the suggested correction reveals some serious flaws. Therefore, it is argued that the corrected Kirkwood-Buff integrals should be "recorrected" to restore their original definition and meaning.
