Description
It is shown that the recently proposed Fisk-Tait spin-32 equation which remains causal even when interactions are introduced is a ''barnacled'' wave equation, and when the barnacles are eliminated the resulting equation is the same as Hurley's ''doubled'' spin-32 theory with 4(2s + 1) independent components. The Fisk-Tait equation has therefore the undesirable features of Hurley's equation, viz., parity doubling and negative energy
