Abstract
Contrary to what is asserted in a recent paper by Kostädt and Liu, experiments can (and in fact do) tell hyperbolic theories apart from parabolic theories of dissipation. It is stressed that the existence of a non-negligible relaxation time does not imply that the system is out of the hydrodynamic regime.Keywords
