Whereas Kitchenham et al. argue that properties used to define measures should not constrain the scale type of measures, the authors contend that that is an inappropriate restriction. In addition, a misinterpretation of Weyuker's (1988) properties is noted. %B Software Engineering, IEEE Transactions on %V 23 %P 187 - 189 %8 1997/03// %@ 0098-5589 %G eng %N 3 %R 10.1109/32.585506
