Summary: Based on the transmuted generalized inverted exponential (TGIE) distribution I. Elbatal [Econ. Qual. Control 28, No. 2, 125–133 (2013; Zbl 1401.62084)]; [M. S. Khan, in: Niels Bohr and the philosophy of physics. Twenty-first-century perspectives. New York, NY: Bloomsbury Academic. 14–25 (2017; Zbl 1511.62268)] revisited the TGIE distribution with an illustrative application to a reliability data-set. Here, we revisit the data application and discuss the inadequacy of the TGIE distribution to the applied data-set.
