Abstract  It is pointed out that the statement in Ref.[1] (Rindler, assential Relativity) claiming that "the metric coefficients are time-independent if signals tracing out the same path always take the same coordinate time" is false. A counterexample and a revised statement with its proof are given in this paper.
