It is shown that the best fit of experimental data to the correlation equation as used by Fowkes1 cannot be considered as a criterion of correctness with which the mathematical formula expresses the way of polar interaction at interfaces. Examples of other evidence are given that the polar part of work of adhesion may be well represented by the geometrical mean of polar components of surface energies.
