Comment on "Static correlations functions and domain walls in glass-forming liquids: The case of a sandwich geometry" [J. Chem. Phys. 138, 12A509 (2013)].
In this Comment, we argue that the behavior of the overlap functions reported in the commented paper can be fully understood in terms of the physics of simple liquids in contact with disordered substrates, without appealing to any particular glassy phenomenology. This suggestion is further supported by an analytic study of the one-dimensional Ising model provided as Supplementary Material.
