We review the original and the new field theory, invoking several well-documented key features of the microscopics. Since the new field theory fails to reproduce these characteristics, we argue that it cannot serve as a viable description of the driven lattice gas. Recent results, for the critical exponents associated with this theory, are re-analyzed and shown to be incorrect.5977 - 5980 (4) page(s)In CopyrightPhysics, Fluids & PlasmasPhysics, MathematicalPhysicsSIZE-SCALING ANALYSISDIFFUSIVE SYSTEMSCONSERVATIVE DYNAMICSPHASE-TRANSITIONSCRITICAL-BEHAVIORArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.61.5977615
